the influence of scour effects is considered by establishing a three-dimensional finite element model under wind-waves-current loads and seismic action
and the different influences of global scour and local scour on the dynamic response of the MOWT are compared. The results show that different forms of scour have different responses of the MOWTs under different loading conditions. The response of the MOWT system to local scour under seismic action is greater than that to global scour. However
with the exception of the bending moment
the response of the wind turbine system is observed to be greater under global scour than under local scour for larger scour depths under wind-waves-current loads and combined wind-waves-current loads and seismic action. This suggests that scour effects must be considered on the dynamic response of MOWTs under a complex marine environment. Furthermore
it can be observed that different forms of scour effects exert varying effects on the dynamic response of MOWTs.
