| Abstract: | The partial coupling of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics in floating wind turbines entails an approach where the study of aerodynamic performance characteristics is approximated by imposing specific motions on the rotor while neglecting the influence of the floating platform. Over the past decade, numerous scholars have utilized partial coupling methods to explore the aerodynamic loads and wake characteristics of moving wind turbines, thus establishing a foundational understanding of the aerodynamic performance of floating wind turbines. When accounting for platform motion, traditional aerodynamic models for wind turbines may lose validity, while the intricate flow disturbances and wake conditions induced by motion present challenges to rotor aerodynamic modeling. This paper offers a comprehensive review, delving into two facets: partially coupled dynamic models and the examination of aerodynamic characteristics under partial coupling. It underscores the need for future advancements in analytical capabilities within partially coupled dynamic models, particularly in flow separation and fluid-structure coupling. Additionally, it highlights the necessity of focusing on the analysis of wake characteristics concerning degrees of freedom beyond heave and pitch motions. |
