The Numerical Simulation of Hydrodynamics of Fishing Net Cage
The aquaculture industry is playing an increasingly important role in the fish production industry as the demand for seafood increases. At present, the net cage is widely used in aquaculture industry all over the world. Because of environmental impact concerns and limited near shore locations, more and more net cages for aquaculture will be located offshore and exposed to more waves and currents. Thus, knowledge of their hydrodynamic behavior of net cage under the action of waves and current is of great importance to the design of gravity cages in the open sea.
