A benchmark test on the rotor of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5MW turbine, which is designed to be mounted on a semi-submersible platform is performed. The predicted power and thrust for cases of the rotor with its centre fixed and undergoing pitching motion are compared between the overset mesh solver, a frequency-domain Naiver-Stokes Computational Fluid Dynamics code and the open-source Blade Element Momentum theory code.
