Validation of a Numerical Model for the Investigation of Tension Leg Platforms With Marine Energy Application Using REEF3D
Exploiting the offshore wind resources using floating offshore wind systems at sites with deep water depths requires advanced knowledge of the system behaviour, including the hydro-, areo-, and mooring dynamics. To that end, high-fidelity numerical modelling tools, based on Computational Fluid Dynam...
