Influence of Vortex Induced Loads on the Motion of SPAR-Type Wind Turbine: A Coupled Aero-Hydro-Vortex-Mooring Investigation
The nonlinear coupling effect between DOFs and the influence of vortex induced loads on the motion of SPAR type FOWT are studied based on an aero-hydro-vortex-mooring coupled model. Both first- and second-order wave loads are calculated based on the 3D potential theory. The aerodynamic loads on the...
