Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) appear to be a logical step, as the industry moves into deeper water. However, uncertainty in the dynamic response of FOWT and mooring-coupled systems represents a high risk, particularly with the increasing frequency of storm conditions, due to climate change. 'Survivability' of FOWTs, under the combined loading from extreme wind and waves, remains a key concern and underpinning research is needed to de-risk projects and reduce the uncertainties.Numerical modelling can provide the quantitative description required for engineering analysis at full-scale making it possible to represent both the aero- and hydro-dynamic regimes correctly. However, large wave impacts and extreme wind loading require the use of high fidelity modelling, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and considerable effort is still required to improve the confidence in these tools.

随着行业进入更深的水，漂浮的海上风力涡轮机（FOWT）似乎是逻辑上的一步。但是，FOWT和系泊耦合系统的动态响应的不确定性代表了高风险，尤其是由于气候变化导致风暴条件的频率的增加。在极端风和波浪的联合负载下，Fowts的“生存能力”仍然是一个关键问题，并且需要进行基础研究以降低风险项目并减少不确定性。纳姆模型可以在全尺度上提供工程分析所需的定量描述可以正确地代表空气和水力动力学制度。但是，巨大的波浪影响和极端的风负载需要使用高保真建模，例如计算流体动力学（CFD），并且仍然需要大量精力来提高对这些工具的信心。
