Abstract

In order to investigate the optimal design weight of sinkers for preventing cage net from deforming in current, the model experiment on 2 types of square cage nets with different S sub(n)/S, the ratio of total area of netting projected to the perpendicular to the water flow S sub(n) to wall area of netting S, and 4 kinds of sinkers was carried out in circulation water channel. The model cage nets were made in 1/10 scale and the total weight in water of 4 sinkers attached to each corner of their bottom frames was 18, 54, 90, and 126g, respectively equivalent to 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 kg per unit area of prototype net. The results obtained can be summarizes as follows; Due to the deformation of each net where it was lifted towards the surface in severe conditions, its volume was reduced. This depended highly on the weight of sinkers placed in the bottom corner of cage nets, even if the variation of S sub(n)/S had a little effect on their deformation in current less than 0.4 m/s. In addition, it was observed that the total weight of sinkers for preventing the net from deforming to the extent of less than 50% inside its initial volume was 31 to 245 kg in the range of 0.3 to 0.6 m/s and the adequate design weight of sinker was approximately 0.5 kg per its unit area.

그물의 S$_{n}$S값이 서로 다른 2가지의 상자 구조의 우리형 그물을 1/10로 축소한 모형에 대해 실물 그물의 면적 1$m^2$당 각각 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 및 0.7kg에 상당하는 침자를 그물의 각 모서리에 1개씩 총 4개를 부착하여 회류 수조에서 유속의 변화에 대한 그물의 변형을 측정하고, 이를 통해 조류에 의한 우리형 그물의 형상 유지에 효과적인 침자의 적정량에 대하여 검토하였다. 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유속이 증가함에 따라 그물이 날림으로써 그것의 용적은 급격히 감소하였으나, 변형 각도 의 변화량은 증가하였다. 2. 그물의 S$_{n}$S값은 유속이 0.4m/s이하일 때는 그물의 변형에 약간의 영향을 끼쳤지만 유속이 0.5m/s 이상일 때는 별다른 영향을 끼치지 않았다. 3. 그물의 변형은 유속, 침자의 무게 및 S$_{n}$S값에 의해 결정되었다. 4. 그물의 용적을 50% 이상으로 유지하기 위한 침자의 총무게는 유속이 0.3~0.6 m/s일 때 31~245kg이고, 침자의 적정량은 그물의 면적 1$m^2$당 0.5kg 정도로 나타났다.
