Deliverable 2.1 Aero-hydro-elastic model definition - DTU 10MW RWT Hexafloat

  • 1. ROR icon Technische Universität Berlin

Description

For the detailed validation and verification of the capabilities of QBlade Ocean in work package 2 of FLOATECH, a detailed definition of the models is needed. This database presents the QBladeOcean model of the DTU 10MW Reference Wind Turbine mounted on the Hexafloat floater.

Update V2.0.0;
Structure files are modified according to the requirements of the QBladeCE version

Update V3.0.0;
Modified blade aerodynamic definition, small modification in the substructure geometry

Update V4.0.0;
updated Substructure file to format compatible with new QBlade version 2.0.6.4+
inclusion of tower drag coefficient cd = 0.8 
adjusted "DAMP_[-]" paremeter in the "MOORELEMENTS" table of the Substructure .dat file to be zero due to numerical instabilities

Notes (English)

This model is used in the WES publication: "Quantifying the Impact of Modeling Fidelity on Different Substructure Concepts for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines - Part I: Validation of the Hydrodynamic Module QBlade-Ocean".

In the current setup of the turbine model, it corresponds to the "QB" model shown in Figure 16.

The models required to run the decay and isolated hydrodynamic excitation test cases can be easily derived from this model.
