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...

This study investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of single-layer heave plates with varying salient edges and triple-layer configurations with size mismatches under forced oscillation, utilizing 3D overset mesh numerical simulations. For single-layer plates, the 0° edge configuration maintains high hydrodynamic coefficients across all conditions, whereas the 135° edge peaks under specific parameters. Introducing horizon...
