ON COEFFICIENTS OF THE SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODEL OF ROPE-NET ELEMENTS HYDRODYNAMIC DRAG
The semi-empirical theory of calculating forces acting in various rope-net elements of fishing gear was developed and published by the team of authors from the Kaliningrad State Technical University. The presence of discontinuities in the dependence of the hydrodynamic resistance coefficient on the Reynolds number is shown in the article. It can lead to an emergency stop of program execution near the boundaries of areas when the computer implementation of the calculation algorithm is performed. The proposed adjustment of the empirical coefficients allows us to get rid of function discontinuities.
