Calibration of Hydrodynamic Coefficients for a Semi-Submersible 10 MW Wind Turbine
Kvittem, Marit Irene; Berthelsen, Petter Andreas; Eliassen, Lene; Thys, Maxime (ASME 2018 37th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering, Volume 10: Ocean Renewable Energy;OMAE2018-77826, Chapter, 2018-06-22)Hydrodynamic model tests and numerical simulations may be combined in a complementary manner during the design and qualification of new offshore structures. In the EU H2020 project LIFES50+ (lifes50plus.eu), a model test ... -
Dynamic response of a monopile wind turbine in waves: Experimental uncertainty analysis for validation of numerical tools
Bachynski, Erin Elizabeth; Thys, Maxime; Delhaye, Virgile Roger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-23)The responses of a monopile offshore wind turbine subjected to irregular wave loads are investigated numerically and experimentally, considering a range of sea states. An extensive experimental campaign was carried out on ... -
Experimental and numerical investigations of monopile ringing in irregular finite-depth water waves
Bachynski, Erin Elizabeth; Kristiansen, Trygve; Thys, Maxime (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)In storm conditions, nonlinear wave loads on monopile offshore wind turbines can induce resonantringing-type responses. Efficient, validated methods which capture such events in irregular waves inintermediate or shallow ... -
Experimental study on the effect of second order wavemaker theory on the response of a flexible large diameter monopile in irregular sea
Hoseini Dadmarzi, Fatemeh; Tonnel, Matthias; Thys, Maxime; Bachynski-Polic, Erin Elizabeth; Kristiansen, Trygve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Motivated by the need for larger offshore wind turbines, large diameter monopile foundations are being developed. To ensure safe design, there is a need for model testing and validation of hydrodynamic load models. Scaled ... -
Identification of wave drift force QTFs for the INO WINDMOOR floating wind turbine based on model test data and comparison with potential flow predictions
Fonseca, Nuno; Thys, Maxime; Berthelsen, Petter Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The paper presents a comparison between empirical and numerical quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) of the horizontal wave drift loads on the INO WINDMOOR floating wind turbine. The empirical QTFs are determined from cross ... -
Multiple-degree-of-freedom actuation of rotor loads in model testing of floating wind turbines using cable-driven parallel robots
Chabaud, Valentin Bruno; Eliassen, Lene; Thys, Maxime; Sauder, Thomas Michel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Model testing of offshore structures in ocean basins has been accepted as a necessary step for the validation and calibration of numerical models, as well as for final design checks in extreme environments. While offshore ... -
