permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the. The growing interest in renewable energy solutions for sustainable development has significantly advanced the design and analysis of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). Modeling FOWTs presents challenges due to the considerable coupling between the turbine’s aerodynamics and the floating platform’s hydrodynamics. This review paper highlights the critical role of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in enhancing the design and performance evaluation of FOWTs. It thoroughly evaluates various CFD approaches, including uncoupled, partially coupled, and fully coupled models, to address the intricate interactions between aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and structural dynamics within FOWTs. Additionally, this paper reviews a range of software tools for FOWT numerical analysis. computational fluid dynamics; floating offshore wind turbines; uncoupled CFD models; partially coupled CFD models; fully coupled CFD models.
