To obtain more knowledge of current induced drag forces on sugar kelp, towing tests with ropes containing cultivated sugar kelp was conducted. As freshwater may damage the kelp and cause changes in its mechanical response, tests were performed in a test facility containing seawater. A special purpos...

This paper addresses the possible drainage and collapse of closed flexible cages in sea-based fish farming. A closed flexible cage is a floating bag structure containing water that is enclosed from the ambient water. Possible density stratification in typical fjord locations can cause buoyancy drive...

This study investigated the three-dimensional flow structures in an ellipsoid, closed sea fish cage. The results are presented using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental measurements. Experimental residence time distribution (RTD) measurement and CFD simulation are the bes...

In the salmon industry chemical delousing is done by enclosing the cage in a tarpaulin, and then mixing the chemical agent in the enclosed water volume. Correct dosage is important to obtain the wanted effect, and in order to calculate the correct dose of the agent the volume of the enclosed water i...

Målet med seminaret var å belyse hvordan skjørt oppfører seg under vannflaten, samt erfaringer med bruk av luseskjørt. Modellforsøkene fokuserte på å demonstrere dukens og merdens bevegelser i strøm og bølger, samt kreftene som virker på forankr...
