Fabio Pierella’s academic work, all in one place

  • EERA DeepWind2024

    A good time at the EERA DeepWind24 in Trondheim. We presented our poster on the EMULF2 project that you find here attached. Here the visualizations that can also be accessed from the the poster via the QR codes.

  • Preprint of the OC6 paper

    The preprint for the OC6 paper is now out. OC6 is a comparison between different codes for simulation of offshore wind turbines. This time it was a comparison of remodeling of experimental results from the TetraSpar platform performed in the UMaine labs in 2019. The paper is available at this address: https://wes.copernicus.org/preprints/wes-2023-103/, and I will…

  • EERA DeepWind 2023

    At EERA DeepWind 2023, we have presented our work on the consequence of the shape of extreme waves on the loads on offshore monopiles. Always a great pleasure to go back to Trondheim and visit old friends! Here you find the presentation and the audio recording from the conference.

  • Modeling of a 15MW Floating wind turbine on a concrete platform

    In January 2022 we presented an interesting paper on a comparison of the response of a floating wind turbine installed on a concrete platform. Comparisons between HAWC2 and Orcaflex showed a substantial agreement. The platform was stable at the survival conditions (DLC 6.1) and no significant resonance was observed for a production case (DLC 1.6).…

  • Pimping OW3D

    Here’s a link to the pre-print of our Coastal Engineering paper on modeling of slamming loads using the pressure impulse model and the kinematics from a potential flow solver. The full paper can be found at this link.
