Ramesh Reddy, L. (author), Milano, Daniel (author), Walker, John (author), Viré, A.C. (author)The hydrodynamic characteristics are crucial for accurately analysing floating offshore wind systems. In this paper, the added mass and damping coefficients of a semisubmersible floater are examined around the natural periods of the surge, heave, and pitch motion, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The OpenFOAM CFD setup is validated...journal article 2022

Hoogendoorn, G. (author), van den Bos, W. (author), Polinder, H. (author)Wind turbine industry is growing and future predictions are promising. However, a shortage of installation vessels could influence this growth in offshore wind industry. Commonly, wind turbines are installed in components using a jack-up vessel. Occasionally, wind turbines are installed fully assembled. Lifting above the wind turbine is not...conference paper 2021

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

Rivera Arreba, I. (author), Bruinsma, N. (author), Bachynski, E. E. (author), Viré, A.C. (author), Paulsen, B. T. (author), Jacobsen, N. G. (author)Floating offshore wind platforms may be subjected to severe sea states, which include both steep and long waves. The hydrodynamic models used in the offshore industry are typically based on potential-flow theory, and/or Morison's equation. These methods are computationally efficient, and can be applied in global dynamic analysis considering...conference paper 2018

Zunderdorp, H.J. (author)Until after the second World War, the ocean was regarded by the oil industry only as a cheap means of transportation. Before the war some timber structures very close to the shoreline had been constructed, but drilling for oil on the continental shelf did not really start until 1947, when the first steel platform was erected in 20 ft. of water...conference paper 1969
