This approach is based on a coupling between Multibody and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. Results of the translational and rotational platform displacement are presented for a basic free-decay simulation in surge direction in still water. A comparison to linear hydrodynamics is presented. Additional, pressure mapping is demonstrated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWindenergie , Numerische Strömungssimulation , Mehrkörpersystem , Hydrodynamik620Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) dynamics , multibody (MBS) , computational fluid dynamics (CFD) , pressure mapping , hydrodynamicsAnalysis of floating offshore wind turbine hydrodynamics using coupled CFD and multibody methodsconferenceObject2013-08-13
