Multi-physics Simulation of a Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Explore the application of multi-physics simulation to floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) in this 53-minute presentation by Dr. Johyun Kyoung, VP of Technology and Co-Founder at Front Energies. Gain insights into the growing importance of FOWTs as a key strategy for achieving carbon neutrality, with a focus on South Korea's ambitious plans to develop a 6GW FOWT commercial farm by 2023. Understand the unique challenges faced by FOWTs, including transient wind turbine loadings and continuous wave loading, which can lead to structural damage and integrity issues. Learn about the need for computationally efficient methods and tools to assess fatigue damage in FOWTs for practical analysis and design. Discover the multi-physical problems associated with FOWT analysis and the offshore industry's efforts to design these innovative structures.
