洋上風力発電のためのＶＬＭＯＳの航行性能

Resistance test and oblique towing test in a towing tank with a 1/100 scale model of VLMOS for investigating the effect of interaction among the many struts or between lower hull and struts has been carried out. Experiment to test the stability of course keeping in which we imitate the wind drag force and sail force by adding external forces and the navigation performance of the structure with model sails have also been carried out. Finally we performed navigation simulation using maneuverability coefficient with interaction. These results show that the structure has enough performance of the navigation, although the interaction effect due to vortex occurring at the rear part of strut is not negligible.
