About
Ilmas Bayati is a leading researcher in experimental fluid dynamics and offshore renewable energy, specializing in the development of advanced testing methodologies for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). His key contributions center on the design and implementation of a 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DoF) robotic platform, known as the HexaFloat robot, which enables real-time hybrid and Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) wind tunnel tests. This innovative setup allows for the physical simulation of complex floating motions, bridging the gap between numerical predictions and real-world ocean basin conditions. Bayati’s most cited work (67 citations) established the foundational design for this robotic platform, while subsequent papers tackled the real-time challenge of 6-DoF hydrodynamic modeling, achieving 19 citations. His research has been instrumental in validating aero-hydro-elastic simulation tools for 10 MW floating wind turbines, using 1/75 scale models. By creating a unique experimental capability at Politecnico di Milano, Bayati has significantly advanced the reliability of FOWT design, making him a pivotal figure in the transition toward large-scale offshore wind energy deployment.
