The mariculture industry is planning to move offshore due to the decline of China's inshore
fishery resources, the deterioration of the water environment, inefficient industrial structure …

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 …

Experiments are conducted in a flume to study the mooring forces and motions of a gravity
cage in regular waves. Cage models are built with hollow pipes and nets. Mooring forces …

A numerical approach is proposed to simulate the interaction between flow and flexible nets
in steady current. The numerical approach is based on the joint use of the porous-media …

A realistic aquaculture fish farm system in both regular and irregular waves is investigated
by numerical simulations and model tests. The main purpose is to develop a reliable …

A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to investigate the reduction in flow
velocity downstream from a fishing net in a current. The flow-velocity distribution …

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

Accurate computation of forces and deformations on cages under wave and current loads is
a key element when designing mooring systems for fish farms. In this study, an analysis of a …

In this study, we investigated the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine aquaculture net
cages used for farming silver salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Two sets of experiments were …

Wave-current interaction affects both wave characteristics and current properties and
therefore the combined forces on coastal structures. In the first part of this paper, a series of …
