Abstract:Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a new kind of fishing gear material applied in deep-sea fishing cages, which is becoming a trend. Studies on the internal and external flow fields of cages made of UHMWPE have been scarce previously. Therefore, a three-dimensional numerical model for the UHMWPE cage is established herein, where the cage is modeled by a porous media model. The Darcy–Forchheimer coefficients of the porous media are obtained by physical model experiments and numerical simulatio… Show more
