مستخلص: This paper reviews experimental methods for testing floating wind turbines. The techniques covered include early-stage and up-to-date approaches such as a porous disc method and hybrid model testing. First, the challenges induced by Froude and Reynolds similitudes and the importance of the various aerodynamic phenomena are discussed. The experimental methods are evaluated based on their cost, versatility, requirements, and limitations. The work primarily focuses on representing aerodynamic loads via hybrid and physical rotor testing, and a preliminary classification is proposed to facilitate the selection of the approaches. The work does not aim to identify an optimal method, but it provides insights into each method's distinctive features, serving as a roadmap for selecting the most appropriate methodology based on the specific testing goals and level of accuracy. Overall, this study offers a comprehensive resource for testing the coupled hydrodynamic and aerodynamic performance of floating wind turbines. The conclusions offer guidance for selecting an appropriate methodology based on the desired testing outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
