Trawl gear design to improve the energy efficiency using computer aided method Chun-Woo LEE Division of Marine Prodution System Management Pukyong National University, Busan, KOREA
Issues related energy use in Fisheries • Increased focus related to the environmental impacts • Achieve sustainable management of natural resources • Main aim of Kyoto protocol • Responsible Fishing (Cancun, Mexico in 1992) • Financial difficulties in fishing industries
Factors affect the energy consumed • Distance to the fishing ground • Searching for fish school • Operation of the fishing gear, Preservation of the catch • Current researches related to reducing the CO2 emission from fisheries Fishing vessel Operation Design of fishing gears
Numerical Method Numerical approach • is an economical way to predict the results. • provides the alternative plans to approach to the reality. • includes the uncertainty in the results. Process • Establishing the numerical model • Computing the model • Analysis of hydrodynamic forces on the gear • Improve design by changing structure or materials
Numerical Modeling • Physical features of the structures • Consists of various materials • Exposed to various loads • Deforms to a considerable degree in the current and waves • Non-linearity • Difficulty to describe the mathematical model due to the environmental factors • Derive the non-linear and stiff equation
Mass spring model Modeling of fishing gear
Modeling of Netting Mesh grouping • Placement of virtual mathematical mesh using mesh grouping method and vector notation of the element.
