The experimental model of the moored WIND-bos platform is presented, and the different numerical models that have been developed to analyze the hydrodynamics of the platform are described. The results provide a detailed comparison of numerical and experimental motion responses of the floating structure in regular and irregular waves. The numerical study includes frequency domain results from spectral analysis, weakly nonlinear time-domain results from a validated in-house code, and coupled time-domain results from commercial software. The importance of damping calibration is put in evidence, whereas damping ratios are calculated iteratively in the coupled time-domain simulations, and nonlinear damping force is considered within the developed numerical scheme. The results compare well and also show that the novel concept has a good motion performance in general.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse10121824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]],"date-time":"2022-11-28T08:13:09Z","timestamp":1669623189000},"page":"1824","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Hydrodynamic Analysis of the WIND-Bos Spar Floating Offshore Wind Turbine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Thiago S.","family":"Hallak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8570-4263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.","family":"Guedes Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC), Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"Sainz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bluenewables, Guia de Isora, 38689 Tenerife, Spain"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bluenewables, Guia de Isora, 38689 Tenerife, Spain"}]},{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Ar\u00e9valo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bluenewables, Guia de Isora, 38689 Tenerife, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107381","DOI":"10.1016\/j.oceaneng.2020.107381","article-title":"Review of the current status, technology and future trends of offshore wind farms","volume":"209","author":"Diaz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ocean Eng."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"ESMAP (Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme) (2022, April 29).
