Short summary
The ability to perform reliable simulations of the motion behaviour of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is a key requirement for developing resource- and cost-effective designs. To support the development of suitable simulation methods, multiple improvements to the validation process of such methods are presented. These improvements allow, for the first time, the transient aerodynamic loads acting on a FOWT in a wave tank experiment to be directly compared with simulations.
