Multiphysics of Wind Turbines in Extreme Loading Conditions

Arash Soleiman Fallah, Hassan Abbas Khawaja, Mojtaba Moatamedi

 
 

Summary

Multiphysics of Wind Turbines in Extreme Loading Conditions addresses the extreme transient loading of wind turbines through a multiphysics modeling approach, notably by considering the dynamic effects and the nonlinearities of the physics involved in such situations. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of multiphysics numerical simulations on both onshore and offshore wind turbines under extreme loading conditions, including ship collisions, blast loading, and ice accretion. Each chapter explains the multiphysics approaches, converting algorithms into numerical codes to depict realistic dynamic responses. It explores the complexity of potential problems arising from extreme dynamic loads, discussing their effects on the structure and distinct types of dynamic responses. It offers valuable information for development in wind turbine technologies, making it beneficial for practicing engineers, designers, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the field.
