Abstract

Hollow rectangular camber otter board was mainly adopted in low-speed trawl systems in Antarctic krill fisheries. In this study, hydrodynamic analyses were performed on a hollow rectangular camber otter board with a projected area of 13.02 square meters, an aspect ratio (AR) of 1.66 and a relative camber of 10%. First, A flume tank experiment was used to validate the accuracy of numerical simulation. Then, the effects of aspect-ratio, relative camber on hydrodynamic characteristics of the hollow rectangular otter board were investigated by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. According to the numerical results, (1) lift coefficient (CL) and lift-drag ratio (K) first increased and then decreased with the increasing angle of attack (AOA); (2) the maximum CL and K were obtained with when AOA=25°and 5°, respectively; (3) CL slowly increased and drag coefficient (CD) slowly decreased with increasing AR. (4) CL quickly increased and CD slowly increased with increasing relative camber; (5) K increased with increasing AR; (6) K increased first and then decreased with the increasing relative camber. At last, low CD, high CL and high K were selected as the targets for optimization, aiming to improve the working efficiency of otter board. The optimization indicated that when the AR was 2.06 and the relative camber was 10%, the otter board has the optimal working efficiency. This research has provided the scientific reference for the pre-design and optimization of the hollow high AR otter board.
