Numerical Simulation of Mechanical Characteristics of a Metal Net for Deep-Sea Aquaculture

Experimental study of flow and mass transport in the near-wake region of a rigid planar metal net panel

“…A number of previous experimental and numerical studies have explored the wake flow field and mass transport associated with more traditional flexible net panels (Bi et al 2013;Cha et al 2013;Chen et al 2019;Tsukrov et al 2003), with several studies finding wake flow characteristics for steady currents through a flexible net panel to be dependent on the net properties and incoming flow conditions (Klebert et al 2013;Laws and Livesey 1978;Tsukrov et al 2011). Specifically, Bi et al (2013) examined the wake flow field for a steady current through flexible polyethylene and polyamide net panels, observing a significant velocity reduction that depended on net solidity and the net inclination angle to the current.…”
