Abstract

The linear coupled spring is used to simulate the flexibilities of wind turbine pile foundations. Based on the fully coupled analysis theories in the time domain and linearized spring of pile foundation at the mudline, the coupled numerical model of the offshore wind turbine（OWT） with a tuned liquid column damper（TLCD） is established. Then, the vibration control of bottom-fixed OWT under combined winds and waves are carried out. The mitigation effects of TLCD on the bottom-fixed OWT are discussed, and the vibration reduction mechanisms are revealed according to the reduced responses in the frequency domain. It is shown that the free decayed motions and coupled structural responses of OWT are effectively alleviated by the designed TLCD with the designated support structural first frequency. Meanwhile, the differences in the mitigation effects among the selected load cases are verified, and the influence of interactions between the environmental loads and OWT responses are studied. Further, the applicability and effectiveness of the designed TLCD is evaluated based on the reductions of the OWT coupled responses.
