Dynamic responses of a 5 MW floating vertical-axis wind turbine: a hybrid wave basin test study with precomputed aerodynamic loads

Abstarct Floating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are promising for deep-water wind energy, but basin-scale experiments remain challenging because model-scale rotor aerodynamics cannot be reproduced consistently under Froude-scaled conditions. This study presents a hybrid mod...

Optimisation-based motion control for AUVs under non-linear wave-current disturbances

With the increasing exploitation of marine resources, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being applied more extensively in a variety of tasks, such as maritime search, rescue, and marine archaeology. The attitude stability of AUVs can be significantly disturbed by highly n...
