JB Energy recently participated in the Nigeria-Japan Business Forum, showcasing its latest and most innovative solution for renewable energy. The forum occurred in Tokyo, Japan, from […]
Abstract Flow-induce motions (FIM) small-scale model tests were performed for the Jappaku floating offshore wind turbines (JPK), a FOWT developed to operate in Brazilian waters. This […]
Abstract Three models with different footing types were used to clarify the effect of heave plates on the hydrodynamic behavior of the elastic response of a […]
Abstract With the advancement of high-performance computation capabilities in recent years, high-fidelity modelling tools such as computational fluid dynamics are becoming increasingly popular in the offshore […]
Abstract This paper aims to investigate the nonlinear motion characteristics of a monocolumn type floater with skirts numerically and experimentally. Wave calibration, free decay, and regular […]
Abstract Experiments regarding vortex-induced motions (VIM) of floating circular cylinders with low aspect ratio, 𝐿/𝐷 = 2.0, and different heave plate configurations were carried out in […]
Abstract A floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) concept with a guy wire-supported tower was investigated to obtain results of motion in waves considering its elastic model […]
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the efects of heave plates with large skirts on the dynamics of a semi-submersible FOWT in waves. The analysis […]
