Overview

Randomized trial explores aeroelastic effects and dynamic responses of wind turbines, indicating significant loading reductions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to analyze how blade flexibility affects the dynamics of floating offshore wind turbines under wind and wave forces.
  • Developed a CFD–FEM framework integrating Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction.
  • Compared rigid and flexible blade configurations on a 15 MW FOWT.
  • Assessed aerodynamic loading, platform kinematics, free-surface response, and wake dynamics.
  • Blade flexibility attenuated wave-frequency thrust fluctuations by 22.1%.
  • Peak-to-peak platform pitch response reduced by 12.2%.
  • Flexible blades showed earlier loss of coherent vortex organization and faster recovery of mean velocity in the wake.
