Objective:
The objective of WP3 is to deliver accurate models for the detailed loads and pressure distribution over the substructure. The models are validated and efficient engineering models for design use are derived.
Activities and results:
• Validated force model for steep and highly nonlinear waves.
• Validated force model for breaking wave loads.
• DES strategy for monopile CFD with inclusion of structural boundary layer.
• Load computations for drag-dominated wave impacts.
