The derivation of a discrete mooring model for floating structures is presented in this paper.
The method predicts the steady-state solution for the shape of an elastic cable and the …

A numerical model for the determination of the deformed shape of nets fixed in a stiff frame is
presented. The tension element method is able to predict the steady-state solution of a net in …

This thesis is motivated by the possible benefits of a more precise trawl control system with
respect to both environmental impact and fishing efficiency. It considers how the control …

A Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling devoted to flexible structures made of nets, cables
and bars, such as fishing gears and fish farming cages is described. The paper focuses on a …

The selectivity of fishing gears like trawls is conditioned by the net structure and flow
characteristics (which substantially affect the fish behavior and the catch geometry in the cod …

This year it was 50 years ago that training in fishing technology officially started at the
University of Rostock. We will look back at the major achievements in teaching and scientific …

Modern nets consist of meshes made of threads or twines with spirals or helical strakes.
Fluid-structure interactions have been investigated in Rostock for a long time applying …

The selectivity of trawls is conditioned by the net structure and flow characteristics which
substantially affect the fish behaviour and the catch geometry in the cod-end. With the aim of …

Résumé Le pouvoir de sélectivité des engins de pêche de type chalut est conditionné par
les caractéristiques de la structure et de l'écoulement. En vue d'une meilleure …
