Decoupled simulations of offshore wind turbines with reduced rotor loads and aerodynamic damping

Decoupled load simulations are a computationally efficient method to perform a dynamic analysis of an offshore wind turbine. Modelling the dynamic interactions between rotor and support structure, especially the damping caused by the rotating rotor, is of importance, since it influences the stru...
