Experimental Investigation on the Characteristics of Pitch Motion for A Novel SPAR-Type FOWT in Regular Waves
Description
The IPR investigates the experimental analysis of the pitch motion characteristics exhibited by a SPAR-type floating wind turbine in regular waves, with a particular emphasis on the development of vertical plate configurations designed to mitigate undesired pitch motion. The findings of this study demonstrate that the model equipped with four vertical plates (4VP) attains optimal performance in minimising the dynamic response, in comparison with alternative configurations.

A Preliminary Study of Breaking Waves Phenomenon on A Numerical Wave Tank
Description
This IPR investigates the breaking wave phenomenon on a submerged flat reef by employing a numerical wave tank founded on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) approach. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that reef morphological parameters, including length, height, incident wave height, and roughness coefficient, influence the location and height of breaking waves with validation accuracy exceeding 80%.
