Severe scour can considerably reduce the foundation embedment depth and thus leads to fatal damages to OWT systems. Given sandy seabed conditions are typical in most Taiwan’s wind farms, foundation scour must be accounted for offshore wind design. To this end, scour safety of a jacket-supported offshore OWT system is investigated in this project.
