Data underlying the MSc thesis: Experimental low frequency mooring analysis of a floating offshore wind turbine

Includes 6 DOF motion data, 3 mooring line forces, wind force and wave elevation data for 4 wave gauges. Tests include both monochromatic and bichromatic wave conditions on a moored semi submersible floating wind turbine foundation at scale 1:96. The goal of the research was to excite the natural surge frequencies of a 1:96 NREL semi-submersible model also used during OC5. 2 mooring systems were made to (1) replicate OC5 stiffness and (2) to replicate the surge natural frequency. An electric motor with a magnetic clutch was used to simulate a constant wind force. The experiments were performed in towing tank 2 at the 3Me hydromechanics lab.There are also moored decay tests and wave tests (without the model) available, but these are not processed and to prevent clutter have been excluded. Feel free to send an email if you want the data or if you have any other questions. (youri dot mooc at gmail dot com).

本数据集包含六自由度（6 Degrees of Freedom，6 DOF）运动数据、3根系泊缆绳拉力数据、风力数据以及4台浪高仪（wave gauge）对应的浪高数据。试验涵盖缩尺比1:96的系泊式半潜漂浮风电基础在单色波（monochromatic wave）与双色波（bichromatic wave）工况下的测试。本研究的目标是激励OC5项目中同样使用的缩尺比1:96的国家可再生能源实验室（National Renewable Energy Laboratory，NREL）半潜模型的纵荡固有频率。本次研究共搭建两套系泊系统：其一用于复现OC5的系泊刚度，其二用于复现该模型的纵荡固有频率。实验采用搭载电磁离合器的电动机模拟恒定风力。试验在美国3Me流体力学实验室（3Me hydromechanics lab）的二号拖曳水池中完成。此外尚有未经过处理的系泊衰减试验与无模型波浪试验数据，为避免冗余信息未纳入本数据集。如需获取该数据集或有其他疑问，请发送邮件至[e-mail]。
