Abstract

•Aerodynamic modeling of floating VAWTs is established using the Actuator Cylinder (AC) flow method.•A fully coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool, i.e. SIMO-RIFLEX-AC, is developed for floating VAWTs.•The developedsimulation tool is verified to be accurate by a series of code-to-code comparisons.•This simulation tool can be used for design and response analysis of different floating VAWT concepts.
