Deep-sea aquaculture can alleviate the spatial and environmental pressure of near-shore aquaculture and produce higher quality aquatic products, which is the main development direction of global aquaculture. The coastline of China is relatively flat, with aquaculture operations typically operating in sea areas with water depths of approximately 30–50 m. However, with frequent typhoons and poor sea conditions, the design of moo...

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a widely used experimental technique in ocean engineering, for instance, to study the vortex fields near marine risers and the wake fields behind wind turbines or ship propellers. However, the flow fields measured using PIV in water tanks or wind tunnels always have low resolution; hence, it is difficult to accurately reveal the mechanics behind the complex phenomena sometimes observed. In t...

Ships are special machineries with large inertias and relatively weak driving forces. Simulating the manual operations of manipulating ships with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques becomes more and more common, in which avoiding collisions in crowded waters may be the most challenging task. This research proposes a cooperative collision avoidance approach for multiple ships using a multi-agent deep re...
