Bernardo, T.A. and Guedes Soares, C. (2021), “Validation of tools for the analysis of offshore aquaculture installations”, Developments in Maritime Technology and Engineering, Guedes Soares, C. & Santos T.A., (Eds.), Taylor and Francis, London, UK, Vol 2, pp. 685-692
The work starts by reviewing the current procedures for computing the loads on net structures. It proceeds to a review of the most prominent solutions available in the industry to face the challenge of offshore aquaculture developments, going also through the design considerations for this particular challenge. The feasibility of a commercially available numerical tool, SIMA, is assessed through a thorough validation process, where increasingly complex models are tested and the results compared. Then the mooring system of a real-life farm, located in the Madeira archipelago, is analyzed. The last step of this work is to combine the knowledge obtained throughout the elaboration of this thesis and propose a possible concept to be deployed in an offshore location. A hydrodynamics analysis of the concept is performed using the numerical tool SIMA.
