Abstract
AbstractIn recent years, the renewable energy is highly developing and therefore more offshore wind farms have been built in the world and Vietnam. The offshore wind farms have been usually installed in shallow water and the monopile is one of the most structures used for offshore wind turbine support structures. Wave load is an important aspect in designing of the offshore wind turbine support structures. This paper is going to investigate the wave loading on a monopile support structure of the offshore wind turbines by numerical and experimental methods. Wave loading on the monopile has been simulated by ANSYS Fluent software and the fifth-order Stokes wave theory is applied in the model. The free surface of waves is tracked by using the volume of fluid (VOF) technique. The numerical and experimental data have been analysed and compared. Then, discussions and conclusions will be given in the paper for about the wave loading on a monopile support structure of offshore wind turbines.KeywordsWave loadMonopileOffshore wind turbinePhysical modelANSYS FLUENT
