Abstract:In this study, the k-ω SST model is applied to analyze the vortex structure around the net cage in current. To validate the numerical simulation, a series of physical model tests were conducted. The results indicate the numerical model can accurately simulate the flow field around the net cage. The effect of net solidity on the flow pattern around the net cage is investigated by numerical simulation. The results indicate that the same net solidity may produce different vortex pattern around the net cage. A vortex first appears near to the net mesh and then a large-scale vortex appears in the wake region after the fish cage.
