title = "Modelling the Hydrodynamic Response of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Using OpenFOAM and a Quasi-static Mooring Model",
abstract = "This work represents a contribution to the 1st FOWT Comparative Study. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver, interFoam, is used to simulate the hydrodynamic response of a 1:70 scale model floating offshore wind turbine in load cases including static equilibrium, decay tests in heave, surge and pitch as well as two focused wave events. Mesh deformation is used to accommodate the body motion and the catenary moorings are modelled using a quasi-static method. Wave generation and absorption is achieved via relaxation zones. The numerical solutions are compared with the available physical measurements and are shown to agree well for heave motion but significant differences are present for the other degrees of freedom and the mooring line loads.",
