商品簡介
As global demand for sustainable food and marine resources continues to rise, offshore aquaculture has emerged as a critical solution. Ocean Engineering and Offshore Aquaculture Technology explores the design, development, and deployment of floating offshore systems for large-scale seaweed farming in deep and exposed waters. This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of very large floating structures (VLFS), mooring system design, hydrodynamic testing, and environmental load considerations. It integrates theoretical modeling, experimental validation, and risk-based design approaches to ensure structural integrity and operational reliability. Key topics include: Design and prototype development of offshore floating aquaculture systems Mooring analysis under wave, wind, and current forces Hydrodynamic behavior of seaweed and system components Material selection and structural performance Risk, reliability, and sustainability in ocean engineering Part of the Blue Economy Series, this book is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals working in ocean engineering, offshore technology, and sustainable aquaculture.
