Simplified Numerical Models to Simulate Hollow Monopile Wind Turbine Foundations

The majority of wind turbine foundations consist of hollow monopiles inserted in the soil, requiring high computational effort to be numerically simulated. Alternative simplified models are very often employed instead. Three-dimensional solid models, in which the hollow structure and pile are substi...
