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.
