A study on fully nonlinear wave load effects on floating wind turbine
Abstract
The influence of fully nonlinear wave effects on floating wind turbine has been studied in this paper by comparing both floater motions and structural responses of tower base and mooring lines exposed to linear and fully nonlinear long-crested irregular waves. Wave kinematics of the linear and nonlinear wave are calculated in a 2D Harmonic Polynomial Cell wave tank. The wave kinematics are further processed by a polynomial fitting method to …
