Beschrijving
In the coming years, the Dutch government and industry have large ambitions for developing offshore solar (OS) on the North Sea as a part of the energy transition. Currently, it is still uncertain how large-scale roll-out of OS will affect the marine ecosystem. Within the SENSEHub project, we aim to close the knowledge gap on the impact of large-scale offshore solar through modelling efforts. A crucial step is to understand how OS arrays interact with the local hydrodynamic conditions. This interaction may lead to the formation of a boundary layer at the water surface and flow separation, thereby leading to a turbulent wake and thus enhanced mixing near the OS array. In this report, we quantify these hydrodynamic processes by modelling them in detail using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD),
specifically OpenFOAM version 8.0.
