The integrated development of offshore wind power and marine aquaculture represents a promising approach to the sustainable utilization of ocean resources. The present study investigated the hydrodynamic response of an innovative combination of a wind farm monopile and pontoon raft aquaculture facilities (PRAFs). Physical water tank experiments were conducted on PRAFs deployed around a wind farm monopile using the following co...
