A consistent finite element is proposed to model the hydrodynamic response of net panels to environmental loading. This equivalent net element is constructed to reproduce the drag, buoyancy, inertial and elastic forces exerted on the netting by current and waves. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed finite element modeling, numerical predictions have been compared with the experimental observations and (simplified) analytical results of other authors. This new modeling technique has been applied to evaluate the performance of a tension leg fish cage in the open ocean environment. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
