| Abstract: |
The floating meteorological mast is a floating spar buoy-type structure developed in order to monitor the environmental variables in deep water locations. Main actions over the structure are aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces. Stability is a critical aspect of the structure, the design is performed by means of theoretical models, finite elements, CFD and laboratory tests with scaled models. Up to now three prototypes have been designed and developed, and are currently operative. Third prototype is nowadays under certification process in order to be completely commercial. |
