Abstract
The growth of the aquaculture industry has led to the development of innovative fish farming technologies, such as semisubmersible fish farms which offer significant advantages in terms of scalability and environmental sustainability. The study utilizes a new workflow based on an open-source finite element solver, Code_Aster, to calculate the hydrodynamic dynamic response of a fish farm. The mooring line configuration of a semisubmersible fish farm plays a crucial role in ensuring its stability and overall performance. This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation aimed at evaluating the influence of different mooring line configurations (i.e., 4 × 1, 4 × 2, and 4 × 3) on the global performance of a semisubmersible fish farm under regular waves and irregular waves conditions. Increasing the number of mooring lines can reduce the mean and extreme tension in individual mooring lines and suppress the horizontal motions, but bring neglectable effects on the rotational responses. The findings from this research provide valuable insights into the optimal mooring line configuration for the global performance of semisubmersible fish farms.
