The hydrodynamic properties were calculated using ANSYS-AQWA and STAR-CCM+. The motion equations were solved by OrcaFlex to obtain the motion response and generator power, as well as the dynamics of the mooring system and aerodynamics of the wind turbine. The waves were assumed to share the same direction as the wind. This study compared the mean values and standard deviations of the motion response, generator power, and mooring line tension between the potential- and viscous-flow approaches by considering the combination of seven wind directions and four current directions under two wave conditions in the Hsinchu offshore area. The numerical prediction shows that the viscous effect has a larger impact on the hydrodynamic properties in the heave, roll, and pitch motions. The angle between the leading mooring line of the system and dominant wind direction in the Taiwan Strait, which comes from the northeast, should be from 120° to 180° in order to deliver a relatively favorable performance of the system. |
