Short summary
Floating offshore wind turbines experience platform surge motion that alters wake dynamics and generates vortex structures. This study uses large eddy simulations with an actuator disk to analyse these structures under laminar, turbulent and atmospheric boundary layer inflows. Proper orthogonal decomposition reveals peak vortex energy at specific Strouhal numbers, with lower energy and faster decay under atmospheric conditions. Meandering and wake modulation are dependent on inflow conditions.
