Experimental Challenges and Modelling Approaches of Floating Wind Turbines

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 a...
