The aim of this chapter is to study the various hydrodynamic loads important for the design process of offshore wind turbines foundations. A numerical study on weakly non-linear waves was conducted, using the commercial code StarCCM++. Open-source codes OpenFoam and OceanWave3D were used for the simulation of breaking waves. Existing analytical and empirical formulations, and the results and conclusions from the current numerical study are presented.
