Abstract

Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are an emerging technology that allows wind energy generation in deep waters. Numerical simulations are pivotal in designing, analyzing, and optimizing FOWTs due to their multiphysics nature. This review presents recent advances in numerical simulation tools, ranging from low-fidelity engineering models to high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes for FOWT aerodynamics. We review various open-source and commercial software developments and summarize validation projects focused on improving the FOWT simulations. Given the dynamic nature of floating turbines, the impact of wake aerodynamics has also been critically assessed. Additionally, data-driven modeling has emerged as a promising approach for improving FOWT design, leveraging data from numerical models and experiments. We discuss the strengths and limitations of various computational methods, highlighting the potential of integrating data-driven techniques with next-generation AI methods. Finally, future research directions and opportunities in floating wind energy are identified.

期刊介绍： The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
