      Cheng, Hui; Li, Lin; Ong, Muk Chen; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Sim, Jaesub (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-17)
      Due to the lack of sheltered area, Norwegian fish farms are expanding to more exposed and remote sites. The severe environmental conditions in exposed sites can increase the risk of structural failure during aquaculture operations. In the present study, the program FhSim is employed to conduct time-domain simulations to investigate structural responses of a single-cage and 1 × 4 multi-cage fish farm ...
    • Klimasatsing i kystfiskehavner: En analyse av energibruk på fangst- og mottaksleddet i kystfiskeflåten 

      Høyli, Randulf; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-03-01)
      Analyse av energibruk i fangst- og mottaksleddet viser at drivstofforbruk i flåteleddet representerer den største andelen av totalt energibruk for produksjon av ferskfisk, tørrfisk og frossenfisk. Vi finner at fartøy under 15 meter i gjennomsnitt driver mest drivstoffeffektivt fiske, sammenlignet med den øvrige kystfiskeflåten i Flakstad kommune. Vi estimerer at flåtens CO2-utslipp er økende fra ...
    • Lumped, constrained cable modeling with explicit state-space formulation using an elastic version of Baumgarte stabilization 

      Skjong, Stian; Reite, Karl-Johan; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-29)
      This paper presents a modeling approach for efficient simulation of slender structures, such as wires, cables and ropes. Lumped structural elements are connected using constraints. These are solved explicitly, using an elastic version of Baumgarte stabilization. This avoids singularities in the matrix inversions. The resulting explicit state-space formulation filters the higher order dynamics and ...
    • Numerical investigation on the cage-to-cage wake effect: A case study of a 4 × 2 cage array 

      Sim, Jaesub; Cheng, Hui; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Li, Lin; Ong, Muk Chen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-12)
      Aquaculture has been the world’s fastest-growing food producing method and grown to become the second-largest export industry in Norway during the past 40 years. Usually, the high-value fish such as Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) is raised in a multi-cage fish farm, where the flow interactions between fish cages exist. In this study, the interactions between fish cages are implemented into the ...
    • Predicting the effect of seine rope layout pattern and haul-in procedure on the effectiveness of demersal seine fishing: a computer simulation-based approach 

      Madsen, Nina; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Herrmann, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-03)
      Demersal Seining is an active fishing method applying two long seine ropes and a seine net. Demersal seining relies on fish responding to the seine rope as it moves during the fishing process. The seine ropes and net are deployed in a specific pattern encircling an area on the seabed. In some variants of demersal seining the haul-in procedure includes a towing phase where the fishing vessel moves ...
    • Spray Icing on ONEGA Vessel- A Comparison of Liquid Water Content Expressions 

      Dhar, Sushmit; Samuelsen, Eirik Mikal; Naseri, Masoud; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Edvardsen, Kåre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)
      The hazards associated with ice accretion primarily due to impinging freezing sea spray on ship structures are considered among serious safety concerns for ships operating in the colder regions. An accurate sea-spray icing-estimation model to evaluate the ice accumulation during operations in these regions can make marine operations safer. The accuracy of the present icing models for estimating icing ...
    • A study of energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions in Norwegian small-scale processing of whitefish 

      Høyli, Randulf; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-26)
      This study considers the energy use and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at three fish processing companies, representing a seasonal small-scale whitefish processing industry within the Norwegian coastal fisheries. The primary objective is to analyse the energy use in small-scale processing of whitefish and to provide energy requirements for primary processing, freezer and freezer storage, ...
    • Typical hydrodynamic models for aquaculture nets: A comparative study under pure current conditions 

      Cheng, Hui; Li, Lin; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Ong, Muk Chen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-17)
      The net is regarded as the most critical component in marine aquaculture facilities as it is the only barrier which protects the environment from fish escapes. Accurate predictions of the net cage deformation and drag force on the nets are needed, both for ensuring fish welfare and for dimensioning of the mooring system. Thus, an appropriate hydrodynamic model is essential. In practice, two types ...
