Abstract

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) have attracted more and more attention in recent years. However, environmental loads on FOWTs have higher complexity than those on the traditional onshore or fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines. In addition to aerodynamic loads on turbine blades, hydrodynamic loads also act on the support platform. A review on the aerodynamic analysis of blades, hydrodynamic simulation of the supporting platform, and coupled aero- and hydro-dynamic study on FOWTs, is presented in this paper. At present, the primary coupling method is based on the combination of BEM theory and potential flow theory, which can simulate the performance of the FOWT system under normal operating conditions but has certain limitations in solving the complex problem of coupled FOWTs. The more accurate and reliable CFD method used in the research of coupling problems is still in its infancy. In the future, multidisciplinary theories should be used sufficiently to research the coupled dynamics of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics from a global perspective, which is significant for the design and large-scale utilization of FOWT.
