Improvement on Aquaculture Cage Net Volume Deformation

The purpose of this study is improve the cage net volume deformation during typhoon attacking. A special bottom collar system is to substitute the sinkers system. The Research contents include the numerical development and the hydrodynamic physical model test in a wave tank. The numerical model is based on the lumped mass method to set up the equation of motion of the whole cage net system; meanwhile the solutions of equation have been solved through the Runge-Kutta fifth order method. The hydrodynamic physical model tests have been carried out to verify the goodness of the numerical model.
The research results are as follows. The sinker system¡¦s numerical model simulation indicates that the error of the maximum tension at anchor is about 4.54% higher than the physical model results, and the error of net deformation rate is about 8.04% higher.
While the bottom collar system¡¦s numerical model simulation indicates that the error of the maximum tension at anchor is 6.34% lower than physical model results, and the error of net deformation rate is 3.82% lower. The physical model show that the minimum side projection area deformation rates of net in the bottom collar system is about 4~6% higher than the sinker system¡¦s. According to the conclusions of this study, the presented numerical model is capable to predict the whole cage net system performance and indicates that the bottom collar system is practically feasible in improving the cage net volume deformation.
