The interaction of tidal currents with offshore wind turbine monopiles : an experimental study of flow, turbulence, scour and the reduction of scour around the monopile
The installation of offshore wind turbines involves the driving of a cylindrical steel monopile into the sea bed. The presence of the monopile in the water column causes changes in the local flow and turbulence field resulting in increased flow velocity, turbulence and bed shear stress. This causes...
