Turbulence characteristics significantly influence wake structures in floating offshore wind turbines, revealing complexities beyond simplified models.
Comparative large-eddy simulations and wind tunnel experiments confirmed that platform motion in floating turbines induces unique flow structures in the wake.
Realistic turbulence levels suggest minimal gains in wake recovery for floating turbines, indicating dissipation of induced structures during oscillation.
The study explores the potential of a less intensive URANS approach for analyzing realistic turbulence effects compared to traditional simulations.
