Units in Netting Resistance

While the equation uses various units (mm, m), the final calculation is in 'tonnes' - a measure of weight. This reflects the force experienced by the net due to water resistance.

How does otter board area affect resistance?

Otter board area (Sp) is directly proportional to resistance (Rp). Increasing the area of the otter board increases the resistance it experiences.

What is Rfl?

Rfl represents the resistance caused by friction between sinkers and the seafloor sediment during bottom trawling.

What is Rf?

Rf represents the total friction resistance between the trawl gear (sinkers and otter boards) and the seafloor sediment during trawling.

Rf formula

The formula for calculating Rf is: Rf = f * G, where f is the coefficient of friction and G is the weight of the sinkers/otter boards in water.

What is 'f'?

'f' represents the coefficient of frictional resistance, which varies depending on the material of the sinkers/otter boards and the type of seafloor sediment.

What is 'G'?

'G' represents the weight of the sinkers/otter boards in water, which is their weight minus the buoyant force acting on them.

Sample Problem: Calculate 'f'

We can calculate 'f' by rearranging the Rf formula: f = Rf / G. For example, if the total friction resistance is 15.25 Newtons and the weight of the sinkers in water is 25 kilograms, then 'f' would be 15.25 N / 25 kg = 0.61.

What does 'f' tell us?

The value of 'f' helps determine the type of material used for the sinkers/otter boards. Different materials have different friction coefficients.
