Review Reports

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

(1) In view of the contents, I suggest changing the name of the article to

“State-of-the-art review of vortex-induced motions of floating offshore wind turbine structures”

This paper reviews FOWT structures, which are typically not large (relative to offshore structures).

(2) Line 122 – For the typical drafts of FOWT structures, wave forces are important to submerged floaters as well.

(3) I did find any discussion of structural damping, which may be important for VIV.

Reviewer 2 Report

In this paper, the authors have extensively reviewed the VIM research (experiment, simulation, field measurement) for the Green Energy sectors. The authors have a track record on VIV, which is a closely related topic with VIM. The topic is of great interest to the community and the authors have provide a well-organized and informed review. I feel confident to recommend the acceptance of the paper.
