Numerical investigations for the pile foundation of an offshore wind turbine under transient lateral load
- Numerical analysis can be useful for the investigation of important aspects of offshore foundation prototypes that otherwise could hardly be studied experimentally, like the evolution of pore-water pressure around the monopile foundation of an offshore wind turbine under extreme loading. A combination of mixed pressuredisplacement formulations along with a constitutive model for sands based on the Generalized Plasticity Theory can replicate accurately the soil behaviour in saturated conditions. However, additional issues must be taken into account in order to perform numerical simulations of offshore piles. Some implications of the Babuska-Brezzi restriction, as well as considerations about the pile-soil interface and suitable solution strategies are discussed here. Due to the high cost of the transient analysis, the parallel computation offers a promising perspective, but can be complex and needs to be implemented carefully in order to avoid a performance deterioration.
