Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Scour Formation & Scour Protection on the Stiffness & Lateral Capacity of Monopiles

Wind turbines are nowadays the main means for producing renewable energy in Northern and Western Europe, and therefore research is conducted to secure their efficiency. One of the critical aspects of the windfarms is the foundation type, as it can define the functionality and the cost of each turbine. Monopiles have prevailed as the most...
