Numerical Modelling of Offshore Wind Energy Systems is a thorough, systematic guide to numerical modelling and code development for researchers, students, and engineers in the offshore wind energy field. The book begins by introducing offshore wind energy and reviewing widely-used numerical simulation tools and the fundamental knowledge essential for performing fully coupled analysis of offshore wind turbines. The second part of the book focuses on numerical modelling techniques for fixed-bottom turbines, followed by detailed coverage of floating turbines. In both cases, in-depth case studies are presented to help readers to understand the dynamic behavior of the relevant systems. The final section of the book explores numerical modelling techniques as applied to novel concepts and future trends, including twin-rotor wind energy systems, integration with marine energy resources, multi-energy hybrid floating systems, and other areas. This latest volume in the Elsevier Wind Energy Engineering Series is of interest to all those involved in the design, development, and installation of offshore wind turbines, floating energy systems, and wave-wind-current hybrid systems, including researchers, students, engineers, and other practitioners.
