Abstract

The floating offshore wind turbines are usually exposed to the wave and wind excitations which are irregular and undirected. In this paper, the sloshing characteristics of annular cylindrical tank were experimentally investigated to reduce the structural dynamic motion of floating offshore wind turbine which is robust to the irregular change of excitation direction of wind and wave. The formula for the natural sloshing frequencies of this annular cylindrical tank was derived theoretically. In order to validate this formula, the shaking equipment was established and frequency response functions were measured. Two types of tank were considered. The first and second natural sloshing frequencies were investigated according to the depth of the water. It has been observed that between theoretical and experimental results shows a good agreement.
