    Large Scale Fisheries (LSF), with Length Over All (LOA) larger than 12 to 15 m are gener- ally subject to national and international regulations that require they carry some form of tracking system that is capable of ...
  • Numerical simulation of wave interaction with a suspended cylinder using OpenFOAM 

    Wang, Ming; Mujal Colilles, Anna; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Taylor & Francis, 2022)
    Conference report
