Dynamic Analysis of Hydrodynamic Behavior of A Flatfish Cage System Under Wave Conditions

This paper presents a simulation model based on the finite element method. The method is used to analyze the motion response and mooring line tension of the flatfish cage system in waves. The cage system consists of top frames, netting, mooring lines, bottom frames, and floats. A series of scaled physical model tests in regular waves are conducted to verify the numerical model. The comparison results show that the simulated and the experimental results agree well under the wave conditions, and the maximum pitch of the bottom frame with two orientations is about 12o. The motion process of the whole cage system in the wave can be described with the computer visualized technology. Then, the mooring line tensions and the motion of the bottom frame with three kinds of weight are calculated under different wave conditions. According to the numerical results, the differences in mooring line tensions of flatfish cages with three weight modes are indistinct. The maximum pitch of the bottom frame decreases with the increase of the bottom weight.

Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Response of A Net Cage for Flatfish in Waves

A numerical model of flatfish cage is built based on the lumped mass method and the principle of rigid body kinematics. To validate the numerical model, a series of physical model tests are conducted in the wave flume. The numerical results correspond well with the data sets from physical model test. The effect of weight of bottom frame, height of fish net and net shape on motion responses of fish cage and tension force on mooring lines is then analyzed. The results indicate that the vertical displacements of float collar and bottom frame decrease with the increase in the weight of bottom frame; the maximum tension force on mooring lines increases with the increasing weight of bottom frame. The inclination angles of float collar and bottom frame decrease with the increasing net height; the maximum tension force increases obviously with the increase of net height.

基于有限元方法对鲆鲽网箱耐流特性的数值模拟

鲆鲽网箱结构在海中受到水流的冲击作用会发生运动与变形,针对鲆鲽鱼特有的栖底习性,为确保网底结构的稳定有必要对其进行动力分析。为此利用有限元方法建立了流场中网箱受力和变形的数学计算模型,运用该数学模型对底框中加有支撑管结构并装配方形网目网衣的鲆鲽网箱整体位移进行了数值模拟。数值模拟结果表明,网箱的网衣部分在水流作用下形态变化比较大,网底的水平位移与垂直位移随流速的增加而增大,而网箱的底框架在不同流速条件下均能保持在水平位置,且未发生明显的倾斜。由此可见,此类鲆鲽网箱具有较好的耐流性能。

褐牙鲆陆海接力养殖试验

试验对褐牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)"陆海接力"养殖模式的可行性、养殖操作技术进行了研究。在山东荣成爱莲湾海域,分别于2008年和2009年5月,当海区水温上升至12.0℃以上时,将陆基工厂化培育的适宜规格苗种转运到海上,利用自行研制的方形钢结构鲆鲽类平底网箱养成褐牙鲆商品鱼。其中,2009年养殖平均体质量为59.3,136.0和202.0 g的褐牙鲆各1箱,经过174 d的养殖,平均体质量分别达到614.0,885.3和1 030.0 g,转运成活率100%,网箱养殖成活率分别为93.3%,87.5%和93.3%。结果表明,方形钢结构鲆鲽类平底网箱适合鲆鲽鱼类养殖,"陆海接力"模式养殖的褐牙鲆生长快、养殖周期短、成本低,而且该模式操作简单、节约能源。
