The unsteady aerodynamic characteristics and interference effects of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) are mainly affected by the pitch motion of the ocean platform. Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and advanced overset grid technology, the aerodynamic performance and wake characteris...
