...Rodolfo T. Gonçalves; Edgard B. Malta; Alexandre N. Simos; Shinichiro Hirabayashi; Hideyuki Suzuki Flow-induce motions (FIM) small-scale model tests were performed for the Jappaku floating offshore wind turbines (JPK), a FOWT developed to operate in Brazilian waters. This paper aims to investigate...

... this, model tests were performed for the semisubmersible (SS) floating system design developed for the DeepCwind project (Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration Continuation (OC4) phase II). This paper will investigate the presence of FIM and show its importance in the design process of FOWT. Three different...

... only on the measured motions. Assuming that the WEC behaves as a KEH at model scale, the expressions for power estimation of KEHs have been heuristically adapted to WECs. CECO, a floating-point absorber, has been used as case study. Experimental data from model tests in irregular waves are presented...

... is fairly recent and the first unit was only installed last year. In this context, a meticulous study on VIM for this type of platform concept is presented here. Model test experiments were performed to check the influence of many factors on VIM, such as different headings, wave/current coexistence...

... of the inner body. The heave natural period of the inner body changes in the presence of the main body, due to the fluid flow between them. First order motions . The first order motions were evaluated through the response amplitude operator (RAO) obtained from the model test submitted to waves...
