A linear time domain numerical model is presented, simulating the dynamic behavior of floating structures, such as floating offshore wind turbines. It considers various effects, even though with simplifications, namely the hydrostatic forces, mooring forces, wave excitation forces, wave radiation forces, and viscous damping, whereas the latter is simplified into an added damping matrix that is calibrated in terms of the amplitude of motion near the resonant frequency. Moreover, a scale model of the moored WIND-bos Floating Offshore Wind Turbine has been studied experimentally during a test campaign in wave tank, and the experimental results are considered in this paper to validate the code in regular waves. The results compare well, also pointing that the WIND-bos platform has a smooth first-order response.
