Analysis of lifting operation of a monopile for an offshore wind turbine considering vessel shielding effects
Abstract
This study addresses numerical simulations of the lifting operation of a monopile for an offshore wind turbine with a focus on the lowering process. A numerical model of the coupled system of the monopile and vessel is established. The disturbed wave field near the vessel is investigated and observed to be affected by the diffraction and radiation of the vessel. The shielding effects of the vessel during the continuous lowering operation are …
