A Study on the Mooring-Line Force Characteristics of Composite-Type Sea Cage

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to analyze the mooring-line forces and draw the layout types of composite-type sea cages suitable for deep-sea. Through physical model tests the mooring-line forces were tested respectively under pure current, pure wave and wave combined with current conditions, and the test results showed that 1.composite-type sea cage should adopt uniform layout;2. The number of sea cages increased within certain limits has no significant effect on the maximum of mooring-line force; 3. Sea cage should be arranged vertically with the flow when environmental were controlled mainly by water flow,if only from the perspective of the force;4. Sea cage should be arranged along the direction of wave propagation when environmental were mainly controlled by waves.
