Abstract
The fully coupled aerodynamic-hydrodynamic-mooring numerical model of floating offshore wind turbine(FOWT) has been established. The complex conditions such as second-order wave force, full-field turbulent wind, and mooring break have been taking into account. Using OrcaFlex and FAST to calculate the dynamic response of FOWT under the combined action of wind, wave and current. The time-domain response of floating foundation, mooring tension, blade root contact force, aerodynamic power, and wind rotor thrust are obtained. And the effect of the turbulent wind and mooring break at different positions on the FOWT are studied. The results show that compared with the platform motion and mooring tension, the aerodynamic power and rotor thrust are more sensitive to the turbulent wind, and there are fluctuations in amplitude and multiple peaks in the frequency spectrum. Compared with the leeward side, the mooring break on the windward side is a more dangerous situation, and it is easy to cause the collapse of platform and the break of the remaining mooring. The mooring break on the leeward side is relatively safe, and it will produce a drift in the sway direction, and have little impact on the safety of the wind turbine.
