The expression is composed of two terms including an empirical drag and inertia coefficient. In the present study, a constrained cylinder subjected to regular waves is modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Morison coefficients are derived from the CFD loads.A numerical wave tank, including a surface-piercing cylinder, is implemented to generate, propagate and absorb waves in a controlled way. The cylinder is discretised into slices for each of which the Morison formulation is fitted to the CFD loads to determine Morison coefficients.Morison formulation is in very good agreement with the numerical load over the entire length of the cylinder, except for the slices near the free surface which are outside the applicability range of Morison formula. The loads near the free surface being negligible compared to the total load, the total theoretical load obtained reproduces well the experimental and the CFD loads.The CFD simulations proved to be a powerful tool to predict the wave loads and calibrate Morison coefficients. On this basis, the methodology will be extended to floating offshore wind platforms, combining several cylinders with different inclinations, sizes and positions. %G English %2 https://ifp.hal.science/hal-03655335/document %2 https://ifp.hal.science/hal-03655335/file/Evaluation%20of%20Morison%20approach%20with%20CFD%20Modelling%20on%20a%20Surface%20Piercing%20Cylinder%20towards%20the%20Investigation%20of%20FOWT%20Hydrodynamics.pdf %L hal-03655335 %U https://ifp.hal.science/hal-03655335 %~ SDE %~ IFP %~ CNRS %~ INSA-ROUEN %~ CORIA %~ GIP-BE %~ COMUE-NORMANDIE %~ UNIROUEN %~ INSA-GROUPE
