Aquaculture is expanding all over the world. The limitations are mainly related to location,
water flow, escapees and fish health. The present status of flow hydrodynamics within and …

Lice shielding skirts are a preventative measure against salmon lice in Atlantic salmon
farming. The skirt is wrapped around the top meters of the net cage to divert the current flow …

A coupling algorithm between two open-source numerical toolboxes, ie, OpenFOAM and
Code_Aster, is implemented for fluid-structure interaction analysis of submerged nets. This …

The net is regarded as the most critical component in marine aquaculture facilities as it is the
only barrier which protects the environment from fish escapes. Accurate predictions of the …

The flow characteristics through and around a net panel have been investigated through
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and measurements. A finite volume approach was used …

The submergence behavior of a small volume fish cage in a single-point mooring system
under currents is investigated using a numerical model. Results are validated by comparing …

The porous media model has been successfully applied to numerical simulation of current
and wave interaction with traditional permeable coastal structures such as breakwaters …

The hydrodynamic loads on plane net samples of differing mesh geometry are measured in
steady and oscillating flows. The steady loads on plane nets are also numerically simulated …

Reliable prediction in hydrodynamics is crucial for the design of marine structures,
especially for columnar structures such as offshore wind turbine foundations. A combined …

In this paper we propose and discuss a numerical method to model the current loads on a
net cage. In our numerical model, the fluid–structure interaction is taken into consideration …
