Floating solar platform (FSP) installations in coastal waters provide a significant energy
source for reaching the goal of global net-zero emissions by 2050. These alternative and …

Damping plates are widely used on floating offshore structures to reduce the dynamic
responses in waves. Linearization of the nonlinear drag loads are needed to solve the …

The rapid emergence of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) has brought a strong
demand for high-fidelity numerical methods to better predict the response of such structures …

WP4 of LIFES50+ concerns the qualification of numerical models for design of floaters for
offshore wind turbines. Models of different level of fidelity are considered. The present …

The performance of the overset meshing tool implemented in the opensource Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software OpenFOAM© is investigated in this work. The method is …

Résumé Afin d'accéder à un vent plus fort et plus régulier loin des côtes, et de s' affranchir
des contraintes liées à la profondeur, de nombreux projets sont en cours pour développer …

Wave energy converters (WECs) are designed to operate near the resonance region, being
excited at or close to its natural frequencies. Therefore, they are strongly affected by the …

Spar-type floating wind turbines (FWTs) represent an important and promising means of
utilizing wind energy over deep water. The slender 6MW spar-type floating platform …

The development of floating offshore wind farms relies on the efficient design of floating wind
turbine platforms. In this paper, we present validations of two-phase flow simulations of the …
