<p>Under severe sea conditions, wave slamming on ships and marine engineering structures may lead to structural damage and casualties. Moreover, the strong nonlinearity inherent in the wave slamming process significantly limits the accuracy of numerical analyses and finite element simulations. Therefore, this paper takes a new type of floating wind turbine as an example and performs a physical model test on the wave slamming characteristics of this floating wind turbine. Based on a 1:50 model of the PivotBuoy floating wind turbine, an experimental study is performed under the combined effects of wind-wave loads on the peak pressure, duration, and pressure distribution of slamming. First, two sets of mooring systems, the combined scheme and the full mooring chain scheme, are designed to conduct a series of experimental studies of model slamming under different wind and wave incidence angles, wave heights, and wave periods. By doing so, the slamming characteristics of the wind turbine can be obtained. Moreover, to solve the problem of the large pitch motion response of the prototype wind turbine, a set of vertically oscillating structures is designed, and the slamming pressure characteristics of the optimized model are also investigated through model tests.</p>
