ABSTRACT Local scour of offshore wind turbine foundations may affect the stability of the whole wind turbines. Scour depth is one of the critical factors in design of foundations for the offshore structures. Bidireational currents are generated in a water basin. Series models are carried out on the local scour around composite bucket foundations. Furthermore, a three dimensional numerical water basin based on FLOW-3D is established to study the flow characters and shear stresses around foundations. The main contents and results are summarized as follows. A bidirectional current system is developed, which can generate positive constant currents, negative constant currents and bidirectional currents according to the sinusoidal singals. The current can be controled by the computer software automatically, and also can be corrected to achieve the real-time one. The high precision system canmeet the physical test requirements.An underwater topographic survey system is developed based on the high precision positioning mechanism.A terminal is controlled automaticly by the computer remote control software. The system is easy to operate and is proved stable after tests, and has been successfully applied to study local scour around composite bucket foundations. Based on the series models tests, the local scour around composite bucket foundation of offshore wind turbines situated in the Xiang-shui is studied. The morphology of the scour hole around foundations, equilibrium scour time and maximum scour scour depthare investigated based on a series of scale model of 1:20, 1:40 and 1:70. The maximum scour depth of the composite bucket foundations on-site about 2.8 m according to the physical tests. A three-dimensional numerical model is established using the software FLOW-3D, distributions of the wake vortex and velocity profile of composite bucket foundations are analyzed. Based on the turbulent kinetic energy method, the bed shear stress amplification factors are studied. The sc
