Available on open access from Elsevier via the DOI in this record ; Data availability: The data that has been used is confidential. ; This study investigates the implications of wave–current interaction on the dynamic responses of the W2Power semisubmersible platform for floating offshore wind turbines under operational and extreme conditions. Firstly, two analytical models based on Airy wave theory are developed to analyse the effects of current interaction with regular and irregular waves. Then, these models are integrated with the well-known engineering tool OrcaFlex for the coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic analysis. The presence of current was found to significantly modify the wave profiles and influence the static equilibrium, mooring system, and motion dynamics of the FOWT. The results reveal that the translational motion responses, such as surge and heave, are affected by wave– current interaction, with mean and maximum values decreasing under a following current and increasing under an opposing current. However, rotational motion responses are minimally affected. Wave–current interaction also notably affects maximum mooring tensions, with variations of up to ±22% depending on the current direction and mooring layout. Furthermore, reductions in maximum longitudinal acceleration are observed due to such interaction. Incorporating wave–current interaction in simulations enhances our understanding of FOWT dynamics and allows for more reliable estimations of system behaviour, emphasising the importance of ensuring safe operating conditions, particularly in sites with opposing currents. ; Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) ; Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) |
