Multiphysics of Wind Turbines in Extreme Loading Conditions addresses the extreme transient loading of wind turbines through a multiphysics modeling approach, notably by considering the dynamic effects and the nonlinearities of the physics involved in such situations. The book forms the basis for understanding multiphysic numerical simulations conducted on onshore and offshore wind turbines and subjected to extreme loading conditions, including storms, earthquakes, blasts, impacts, and tsunamis. The multiphysics approaches used in this book are explained in each chapter, with algorithms then turned into numerical codes to attain a realistic picture of the dynamic response in each scenario. With numerical methods and loading data explained, the complexity of potential problems encountered when extreme dynamic loads are discussed, along with loading types and their effects. The book fills a specific niche in wind power, namely extreme transient loading of wind turbine, offering information and industrial practices as wind energy makes it useful to practice engineers, designers, undergraduate and graduate students.

• Defines best practices for unique scenarios which are not readily available in the wider literature, such as extreme load conditions, earthquake and storm scenarios
• Includes multi-physics methods and specific applications within the demands of extreme conditions
• Offers numerical simulations of both onshore and offshore wind turbines in one place
