Abstract
A hybrid simulation approach for the integrated time domain simulation of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) is developed based on the open-source codes OpenFOAM and OpenFAST. A dynamic link library is proposed for the aero-servo-hydro-mooring coupling framework. The validation of the present integrated coupling framework is carried out for the OC4-DeepCWind 5MW FOWT. A series of numerical simulations are further performed to investigate the dynamic performance of the DeepCwind FOWT with different regular wave cases and combined wind-wave cases. The hydrodynamic and aerodynamic performance of the FOWT is further examined for different focused wave cases. The simulation results demonstrate that the dynamic responses of the FOWT obtained from the developed framework are consistent with those obtained from the literature. The coupled framework can significantly improve computational efficiency by accounting for wave-structure interactions compared to the full-scale CFD and CFD-ALM methods. The motion amplitudes of the FOWT will be significantly increased in focused wave cases.
