Abstract
Efficient and accurate simulation of the motion response of floating wind turbine (FOWT) is critical for their design and operation. This study employed the vortex lattice method (VLM) to investigate and validate the aerodynamic performance of FOWT. By integrating the VLM with a potential flow hydrodynamic model, a coupled simulation framework was developed to comprehensively analyze floating platform fluid dynamics, mooring system dynamics, and wind turbine aerodynamic responses. The results confirm the reliability and accuracy of this method. Through simulation, key unsteady aerodynamic and hydrodynamic responses of the floating platform, such as motions of six degree-of-freedoms (DOFs) and mooring tension under various wave conditions and wind forces, were explored and analyzed. The findings highlight the significant potential and promising prospects of potential flow aerodynamic methods, such as VLM, in advancing wind turbine research and design.
