Abstract: Abstract In the present study, CFD simulations of the flow around a multi-MW offshore wind turbine in maintenance position are analysed. Fully-resolved Detached Eddy Simulations of a standstill wind turbine, oriented in the L-position, are performed. Three cases are considered, covering an isolated wind turbine at the rated wind speed and isolated and non-isolated wind turbines at the cut-off wind speed. The flow physics are analysed in the hovering and approach regions of maintenance helicopters. The analysis of the turbulence kinetic energy and the flow inclination angle show no particularly high perturbations at the rated wind speed. At the high wind speed, high variations of the turbulence kinetic energy and of the inclination angle are observed for the approach manoeuvre in the wake of the nacelle.
