In order to investigate the nonlinear hydrodynamic interference issues associated with multiple foundations during the development of offshore wind power arrays
this paper establishes a numerical analysis model for the hydrodynamics of OWTFs under wave-current action
utilizing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The high-precision detached-eddy simulation (DES) technique is employed to numerically simulate the flow field around OWTFs. Additionally
a frequency domain analysis method is applied to investigate the hydrodynamic spectral characteristics of OWTFs under varying wave-current parameters
including wave amplitude
period
and flow velocity. The results indicate the following: 1) When flow velocity and wave period are fixed
the spectral peak frequency and peak value exhibit nonlinear changes with increasing wave amplitude
and the proportion of high amplitude gradually rises with wave amplitude; 2) When flow velocity and wave amplitude are held constant
an increase in wave period leads to a rise in spectral peak frequency
with both spectral peak and sub-peak occurring at stable frequencies. The spectral peak value shows irregular fluctuations
and the proportion of high amplitude varies with changes in the period; 3) The spectral characteristics of the wave force on OWTFs is determined by the relative proportion of the water particle velocity of wave parameters in the water particle velocity of wave-current. As flow velocity increases
the frequency of the spectral peak rises under the same wave amplitude and period conditions
and a sub-peak emerges at twice the frequency of the spectral peak. Conversely
when flow velocity decreases
the sub-peak frequency is only 1.5 times that of the spectral peak frequency.
