Short summary
This paper investigates wake dynamics of floating wind turbines and their effects on downstream turbine loads. Numerical simulations using different flow models, supported by experimental validation, show that large-eddy simulations with realistic turbulent inflow are required to capture platform-induced wake oscillations, wake meandering, and wake recovery. These effects are essential for accurate dynamic load estimation and reliable structural assessment of turbines within wind farms.
