A literature review is presented on the theoretical, numerical, and experimental progress
made in the application of porous membranes and net-type structures to breakwaters and …

This paper presents a complete numerical framework for modelling open ocean aquaculture
structures in waves and current using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A structural …

A Lagrangian approach for the coupled numerical simulation of fixed net structures and fluid
flow is derived. The model is based on solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes …

A new model for the simulation of large motions of porous tensile structures and their
interaction with the surrounding fluid is developed in this paper. The discrete structure is …

ABSTRACT A reliable simulation model to calculate the motion and force responses of wave
energy converters (WECs) is imperative to ensure the reliability and long-term performance …

Nettings are complex flexible structures used in various fisheries. Understanding the
hydrodynamic characteristics, deformation, and the flow field around nettings is important to …

The hydrodynamic variation of nettings in fishing applications (eg, trawl net, purse seine,
and fish cage) are centrally important. Their hydrodynamic characteristics and their …

During the operation of moored, floating devices in the renewable energy sector, the tight
coupling between the mooring system and floater motion results in snap load conditions …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability and suitability of the Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in modelling a flexible flat net in currents. SPH is a meshless …

A new approach for the coupled simulation of moored floating structures in a numerical
wave tank using CFD is subject of this article. A quasistatic mooring model is derived by …
