Floating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) couple intrinsically unsteady rotor aerodynamics with the motions of their supporting platforms, producing complex temporal variations in power output, aerodynamic loads, and wake transport. A structured search of the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus, supplemented by citation tracking, identified peer-reviewed studies published from database inception to 30 June 2026. The r...

Owing to transportation, installation, grid-connection, and maintenance requirements, nearshore offshore wind farms are often located close to busy shipping routes, substantially increasing the risk of ship–offshore wind turbine (OWT) collisions. To enhance the impact resilience of OWT support structures against ship collisions, a novel honeycomb sandwich fender is proposed for tower protection. Nonlinear transient analyses we...
