| Summary: | This study presents the results of laboratory experiments that were performed to simulate the positions of mussel shocks which were selected aiming at the optimization of the quality of mussels’ production in mussel farming areas. The mussel shocks were studied in natural scale. Velocity measurements were taken upstream of two successive mussel shocks and for different positions in relation to the central axis of the channel and different distances between the shocks for three different mean velocities. Based on the results of several numbers of experiments, the main conclusion of this study was that the position and the distance between the mussel shocks play a significant role to the quality of mussels’ production in mussel farming areas. This is due to the fact that the different distances between the mussel shocks influence the velocities and the eddies around them. |
