摘要：Numerical simulation is performed to analyze the hydrodynamic response of a net cage and submerged mooring grid system exposed to waves and current. A series of experiments are conducted to validate the numerical model of net cage and grid mooring system. The numerical results of this model correspond with those obtained from experimental observations. Then, the numerical simulation of a multi-cage and mooring system under the action of waves combined with current is conducted. The influence of waves and current directions and the length of grid lines on the cage responses are discussed. The twin mooring system and the orthogonal mooring system are compared. Results show that for the orthogonal mooring system, the maximum tension force on the anchor line of the four-cage system is less than four times of that of the single-cage system, when both waves and current travel along the x-axis. The minimum net cage volume holding coefficient of the single-cage system is smaller than that of the four-cage system. The amplitude of the mooring line tension force for the twin mooring system is larger than the orthogonal mooring system. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
