概要 In standard operating conditions, a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) suffers from the combined action of nonlinear waves and wind. It is important to explore the effect of higher-order hydrodynam...ic loads induced by the nonlinear waves on its motion response. In this work, a fully coupled aero-hydrodynamic analysis method for FOWT is developed. The hydrodynamic part is based on the nonlinear potential flow theory and the perturbation approach, using a higher-order boundary element method in the time domain. Blade element momentum theory is applied to evaluate the aerodynamic load on the turbine rotor. The mooring system is modelled by the catenary theory. The developed method is verified against the published data of the NREL's 5-MW baseline wind turbine supported by the DeepCwind semi-submersible platform. The verifications are conducted stepwise in the following ways, including hydrodynamic wave excitation load, free-decay response, the load-displacement relationship of the mooring line, the steady-state response of the wind turbine, and fully coupled aero-hydrodynamic interaction. It is found that the nonlinear effect mainly influences the surge motion. The coupled configuration has little effect on the linear wave force and platform displacement but notably impacts the nonlinear wave force and displacement. The FOWT motion is found to be critical in changing the wave field, the maximum wave elevation position around the platform, and the nonlinear wave force acting on the floating platform. The results illustrate that the traditional indirect time-domain method using the Quadratic Transfer Function (QTF) based on assumed response cannot appropriately evaluate the nonlinear wave force of a FOWT in coupled motions. The results also reveal that nonlinear wave hydrodynamics is necessary to understand the motion response of a fully coupled FOWT.続きを見る
