Dong, J. (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), Li, Zhangrui (author), van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)A modified free-wake vortex ring model is proposed to compute the dynamics of a floating horizontal-axis wind turbine, which is divided into two parts. The near wake model uses a blade bound vortex model and trailed vortex model, which is developed based on vortex filament method with straight lifting lines assumption. By contrast, the far...journal article 2019

Huijs, Fons (author), Vlasveld, Ebert (author), Gormand, Maël (author), Savenije, F.J. (author), Caboni, Marco (author), LeBlanc, B.P. (author), Ferreira, Carlos (author), Lindenburg, Koert (author)A semi-submersible Tri-Floater has been designed to support a 6 MW vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with active blade pitch control. Due to the low centre of gravity and large allowable floater tilt angle, a relatively small floater can be used to support a VAWT. Coupled simulations including hydrodynamics, mooring system, aerodynamics and...journal article 2018
