A numerical study on the angle of attack to the blade of a horizontal-axis offshore floating wind turbine under static and dynamic yawed conditions
The offshore floating wind turbines (OFWT) inevitably experience yawed flows, which result
in fluctuations in the angle of attacks (AOAs) of the airfoils and therefore considerably impact …
