Abstract: This paper investigates the sensor-based monitoring feasibility of a bottom-set gillnet through time-domain dynamic simulations for various current and wave conditions and failure scenarios. The dimension and design parameters of the bottom-set gillnet were based on an existing model used in Korea, and the measured environmental data were acquired from the southwest coast of Korea and utilized for the dynamic analysis. For efficient numerical modeling of nets, an equivalent net model which uses fewer line elements was considered, and the projected area, wet weight, and axial stiffness were accordingly adjusted. The hydrodynamic forces on the entire gillnet were estimated using a Morison-force model on the instantaneous positions of the net. The designed gillnet provided excellent stretching performance even under low current velocity. The dynamic responses under wave excitations were not significant in operating conditions; however, significant motions were observed in the fishery-prohibition condition. The proposed monitoring system consisted of an accelerometer, tension sensors, and the global positioning system. Numerous line-failure scenarios were simulated, and the proposed monitoring system could effectively detect a specific problem from the combined patterns of sensor signals by a problem-detection algorithm.

1. Introduction In recent decades, marine-environmental pollution from lost fishing gear has been regarded as a serious problem [1]. In particular, one technical report showed that 20% of fishing gear in Korea is lost or abandoned, and within this amount, only roughly 15% is collected [2]. This means that the remaining 85% may be problematic to the marine environment. Therefore, cost-effective methods to prevent the loss of fishing gear is necessary, and developing an economical and functional monitoring system can be a solution. Since a net system is fully submerged and cannot be directly observed, the monitoring system has to use sensors. For this, the underwater dynamic behaviors of a net system must be well understood for a sensor-based monitoring system for fishing gear to be designed. In this regard, the utilization of a reliable numerical-simulation tool is essential for analyzing overall dynamic behaviors of various types of fishing cages/gear in site-specific environmental conditions. Morison-force [3–13] and screen-force [14,15] models are the two popular approaches used to analyze fishing gears and nets. In particular, the Morison-force model has been validated with experiments in current and wave conditions. Lee et al. [4] have suggested a numerical model for a fishing cage with a floating collar and have compared their results with experiments. Huang and Pan [5] investigated a single-point

Sci. 2019, 9, 1210 2 of 20 mooring (SPM) cage system to investigate the fatigue of a mooring line under wave and constant current loads. Zhao et al. [6] conducted experiments for a gravity cage and compared hydrodynamic behaviors of the cage and mooring tensions with numerical simulations in waves and currents. Furthermore, the dynamic behaviors of box- and column-shaped net cages under wave excitations and steady currents were compared through experiments and numerical simulations by Zhao et al. [7]. Floater-net coupled dynamic analyses in currents and waves have been performed by Cifuentes and Kim [8] and Chen and Christensen [9]. Cifuentes and Kim [10] provided a detailed method for developing a cruder, equivalent net model in their time-domain numerical analysis and compared their numerical results, including a wake model, for downstream nets in currents with experiments. Moreover, Cifuentes and Kim [11] have further validated their numerical methods for net dynamics and mooring tensions in currents and waves with experiments. Xu et al. [12] studied the hydrodynamic behaviors of a four-cage-coupled system including a comparison between simulations and experiments. Jin et al. [13] conducted time-domain analyses of a stow net in various current velocities and wave heights and investigated the feasibility of the monitoring system for fishing gears. Authors of [8,10,11,13] have presented many comparisons against various experimental results to consistently validate the developed time-domain simulation tool for various types of nets and cages. In this study, a bottom-set gillnet, which is one of the most widely used types of fishing gear in Korea [16], was selected. A bottom-set gillnet generally consists of a long, slender net (also defined as the net assembly in this study), mooring lines and , and location buoys. Floats and weights are added along the head and ground ropes so that it can stand vertically in the water. The invisible net catches fish while traveling without them being aware of it; thus, stretching performance in the vertical direction is an essential factor in the net design. Also, mooring lines with heavy anchors are located at a specified interval to maintain the position of the net. Location buoys float on the sea surface during operation to visually show the location of the net. The primary purpose of this study was to reliably simulate the dynamic behaviors of the bottom-set gillnet in different current and wave conditions and to develop a cost-effective sensor-based monitoring system that can detect various failures of the bottom-set gillnet. The monitoring system may also be applied to protect fishing gear in case of deep-water turbulences. Even though there have been experiments [17,18] and numerical simulations [19,20] investigating the dynamic behaviors of the gillnet, these have only focused on small sections of the gillnet. This means that there has been no publication in the open literature which has attempted to investigate not only the global behaviors of the bottom-set gillnet but also the simulations of transient responses with various scenarios of line failures, which could be applied to the development of a sensor-based monitoring system. A commercial program, OrcaFlex, was used as a base program and the entire gillnet was rigorously modeled through equivalent line elements and three degrees of freedom (DOF) buoys. Previous studies have included authors’ well validated methodologies for the similar applications of fishing cages/gear under waves and currents [3–13]; thus, in this study, we adopted those procedures for dynamic analysis. Since the longitudinal length of a bottom-set gillnet can be up to several kilometers, creating an equivalent net model is essential in modeling, and the equivalent net model was completed by adjusting the projected area, wet weight, and axial stiffness. The relative-velocity-based Morison-force model, which has been suggested by previous research [3–13], was applied at the instantaneous net-position to estimate the hydrodynamic force on the entire system, which is also critical in simulating highly transient phenomena. The global performance of the bottom-set gillnet was investigated in operational and fishery-prohibition conditions. Particularly, in this study, various failure scenarios and the corresponding patterns of numerical sensors were further analyzed for the feasibility of the sensor-based monitoring system. Key monitoring parameters were identified to detect sudden failures of mooring lines and location-buoy-connection ropes. Furthermore, using real-time sensor signals, a simple monitoring algorithm was devised and demonstrated as an example of machine-based problem-detection and decision-making processes. Appl.

The numerical models of the gillnet were based on an actual design used in Korea and the design parameters and material properti propertieses used used in in this this study, study, given in Table 1 1,, werewere obtained from previous research [[21,22].21,22]. As mentioned before, the entire bottom-set gillnet consisted of the net assembly, mooringmooring lines,lines, and location buoys. The net assembly, which was made of monofilament,monofilament, had a length and height of 300 m and 2 m, respectively. The hanging ratio, which is defineddefined as the actual gillnet length divided by the fullyfully stretched length, is considered as an essential factor in catching fish,, and a widely used value of 0.5 [[23]23] was adopted in thethe present study.

2.2. Time-Domain Numerical Simulation The bottom-set gillnets were numerically modeled using OrcaFlex, a well-known commercial program [24]. In this study, the gillnet models were entirely created using line and 3-DOF-buoy models, as shown in Figure2. A 3-DOF-buoy model was introduced for modeling other components such as floats, weights, and location buoys, as well as a convenient connection of line models. The Morison-force model for a moving object was employed to estimate the external force of the entire gillnet. In the Morison equation, the added mass coefficient was fixed as 1.0 for the entire line model [25], which corresponded to an inertia coefficient of 2.0. The Morison forces were calculated at each time step at the members’ instantaneous locations and inclinations using the instantaneous normal cross-flow relative velocities and accelerations. The drag coefficient for the net should represent the physical net well, and the formulation suggested by DeCew et al. [26] was adopted in this study. On the other hand, the drag coefficient for mooring lines and ropes was fixed as 1.2 [27]. The equations and detailed descriptions can be found in Jin et al. [13]. Creating an equivalent net model is one of the most important parts of developing a numerical model. If the numerical model is to realize the physical net as it is, significant computational time is unavoidable due to the massive number of lines and 3-DOF-buoys that may represent connecting . Thus, to reduce the number of line and buoy elements, an equivalent net model is needed, which is much more efficient in terms of modeling and computational time. In the present study, the wet weight as well as the projected area were matched between the physical and numerical nets. When the projected area was matched to produce equivalent viscous drag forces, the numerical net became heavier and stiffer than the physical net. The heavier numerical net was compensated for by changing the buoyancy in the 3-DOF-buoy model used to connect line models. In addition, the issue related to larger axial stiffness can be solved by introducing a modified Young’s modulus, as discussed by Fredheim [28]. The inertial force term has a much smaller magnitude compared with the drag force term considering the large value of the Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number and given wave conditions [29]. In this case, the inertial force term in the Morison equation can be neglected. Cifuentes and Kim [10] have thoroughly explained the detailed procedure used to develop an equivalent net model. Except for the net, the other components were modeled as they are. For the convergence-test purpose, two numerical models, which are a cruder model (Model A), as presented in Figure2, and a finer model (Model B), are created. Model A is made up of 568-line and 308 3-DOF-buoy models while Model B has 1831-line and 971 3-DOF-buoy models. Appl. Sci. 2019, 9, x FOR PEER REVIEW 4 of 20

3. Environmental Conditions Table2 summarizes the environmental conditions used in this study. The measured current and wave data, acquired in the southwest coast of Korea for three years, were utilized in this study. The corresponding probabilities of current velocity, significant wave height (Hs), and peak period (Tp) had been analyzed by the authors of [13] in previous research. The operating conditions were selected from the analyzed data. Moreover, the -prohibition condition in Korea, which is a significant wave height of 5 m, was additionally simulated to observe the corresponding global performance of the system [30]. A JONSWAP wave spectrum was utilized to generate irregular-wave time histories. In the operating conditions, the enhancement parameter was fixed as 1.0, which is the same as in the Pierson-Moskowitz wave spectrum. Furthermore, an enhancement parameter of 2.14 for the fishery-prohibition condition was based on the average value of the Korean site [31]. A current profile was produced by the power-law method. The current velocity at the bottom was assumed to be 10% of the free-surface-current velocity. Waves and currents were linearly superposed where their nonlinear interaction effects were not considered. The directions of waves and currents were collinear and were fixed to a positive x-axis (0 degrees). Detailed descriptions for wave and current generations can be found in Jin et al. [13].

In this section, the monitoring parameters in different line-failure locations were identified. Of course, installing more sensors would have provided better accuracy of failure monitoring; however, considering the cost of the entire bottom-set gillnet, this was unfeasible. Therefore, finding key monitoring parameters was required. In this regard, the limited number of sensors were located in Appl.the Sci.net2019 assembly,, 9, 1210 the location buoy, and mooring lines, as shown in Figure 2.
