OWT-13 Hydrodynamic analysis of floating offshore wind turbine foundation - time domain
This course introduces the participants to the Sesam programs for hydrodynamic analysis of floating offshore wind turbine foundation based on time domain methodology.
Description
As part of the integrated analysis of floating wind turbine, the time domain hydro pressure distribution on the foundation is calculated in Wasim by reproducing the wave and motions in the coupled analysis, and the hydrodynamic loads and the loads from mooring lines and wind turbine are transferred to the structural model for subsequent time domain dynamic structure analysis.
This course focuses on hydrodynamic analysis in time domain, including creating section model, calculating the global motion responses and transferring loads to structural model. You will also learn the interface between Wasim and Sima/Bladed.
In this course, HydroD is the main GUI tool, supported by solver Wasim. HydroMesh is used to create the surface Mesh. Xtract is used to view the results graphically, and Sestra is used for the structural analysis.
Learning objectives
The following topics will be covered:
- Create section model
- Define and perform global motion analysis in time domain
- Transfer loads to structural model
- Wasim interface with Sima/Bladed
Target group
Engineers involved in design, analysis, or verification of floating offshore wind turbine foundation.
Duration:
1.5 daysPrerequisite
It is recommended that the participants have completed OWT-11 Hydrodynamic analysis of floating offshore wind turbine foundation - frequency domain or are familiar with hydrodynamic analysis.
