Abstract: This paper presents a numerical model intended to simulate the mooring force and the dynamic response of a moored structure in drifting ice. The mooring lines were explicitly modeled by using a generic cable model with a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a modeling approach for efficient simulation of slender structures, such as wires, cables and ropes. Lumped structural elements are connected using constraints. These are solved explicitly, using an ...

Abstract: Aquaculture has been the world’s fastest-growing food producing method and grown to become the second-largest export industry in Norway during the past 40 years. Usually, the high-value fish such as Atlantic Salmon (Salmo ...

Abstract: Compared with the multipoint mooring fish cage, the single-point mooring (SPM) fish cage can spread out the fish wastes and uneaten feeds in a larger area, and it can also prevent the local environment from being overwhelmed. ...
