The current paper deals with the aerodynamic loads acting on offshore wind turbine towers when these are temporarily placed at small distance in groups at the quayside of pre-assembly harbours. The importance of a correct simulation in wind tunnel tests of the high Reynolds number regime is emphasized. The results also suggest the possibility to simplify the geometry of the towers, running tests on cylindrical models with a properly chosen equivalent diameter. Finally, the work addresses the issue of a possible variation of the height of the towers.

Abstract
The current paper deals with the aerodynamic loads acting on offshore wind turbine towers when these are temporarily placed at small distance in groups at the quayside of pre-assembly harbours. The importance of a correct simulation in wind tunnel tests of the high Reynolds number regime is emphasized. The results also suggest the possibility to simplify the geometry of the towers, running tests on cylindrical models with a properly chosen equivalent diameter. Finally, the work addresses the issue of a possible variation of the height of the towers.
