In recent years, multi-bucket foundations have been studied and gradually adopted in engineering practices as a novel foundation for offshore wind turbines within a range of water depth of 30 to 50 m. This study investigated the motion characteristics of air-floating tripod bucket foundation (AFTBF) through a series of experiments during free air-floating. The experimental results show that the surge force appears to be the most important factor influencing pitch moment and motion, whether it is a change in water depth or a draft for AFTBF. The maximum amplitudes of surge acceleration and pitch angle show a trend of increasing with narrower spacing and decreasing with wider spacing, while the heave acceleration shows an opposite trend. The added mass and damping of heave motion for AFTBF increase with shallower water due to the increasing pressure difference between the inside and bottom of bucket foundation. The shallower the water depth and the larger the draft, the longer the resonance period of heave. |
