Hydrodynamic response analysis for a new semi-submersible vessel-shaped fish farm platform based on numerical simulation

Due to polluted environments, limited resources, and restricted space in coastal aquaculture, the use of a large-scale aquaculture platform deep-sea areas has become more important fish farming. However, environment deep sea is complex harsh, which threatens safety farm due extreme weather. In this work, we developed new semi-submersible vessel-shaped truss with single-point mooring, considering different operating conditions. The dynamic performance was analyzed numerically. Firstly, numerical model created. A physical test then executed verify model. results from were found be good agreement experimental results. Subsequently, response under wave conditions based on validated showed that had adaptability analyses hydrodynamic responses facilitated design, analysis, application large platform.
