The selection of the principal dimensions and their effect on the characteristics of the system have been discussed. By means of a computer program, the synthetical appraisement has been made in the ultimate mooring condition, disconnecting condition and reconnecting condition respectively. Mean-while, a comparison has been made between DRTM system and CALM system. It has been indicated that DRTM is suitable for the South China Sea and has technological and economical preponderance.展开更多

A numerical model is developed by using the commercial software Orca Flex. Hydrodynamics coefficients of the vessel are calculated by using a 3D diffraction/radiation panel program. First- and second-order wave forces are included in the calculations. Morison equation is used to compute the drag force on line elements representing the net. Drag coefficients are determined at every time step in the simulation considering the relative normal velocity between the structural elements and the fluid flow. The dynamic response of the coupled system is analyzed for various environments and net materials. The results of the study show the effects of solidity ratio of the net and vertical positions of the cage on the overall dynamic response of the system, confirming the viability of this type of configuration for future development of offshore aquaculture in deep waters.展开更多
