Modelling Aerodynamics of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Using the Overset Mesh Solver In OpenFOAM
An accurate prediction of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads on an offshore floating wind turbine plays a critical role in determining its operational stability, fatigue life and survivability, as well as optimising its power control system. Therefore, it is essential to develop an integrated aerody...

Prior to developing such an integrated model, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics models need to be systematically examined, individually. In this study, the performance of the overset mesh solver in OpenFOAM for modelling aerodynamics of a floating offshore wind turbine rotor is evaluated. A benchmark test on the rotor of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5MW turbine, which is designed to be mounted on a semi-submersible platform is performed.
