Abstract: A midwater trawl was simplified first by an equivalent method,then a hydrodynamic model was established according to lumped mass model,and the application program of three-dimensional visualization was developed to simulate dynamic behavior of midwater trawl in fishing simulator.Cubic B-spline interpolation and texture mapping were used to improve visualization effect of midwater trawl.The simulating study on a midwater trawl revealed that simulation results were similar to those of flume experiment with a maximum error of 20%,and that the established hydrodynamic model was acceptable.A 3D visualization graphs of midwater trawl was produced further.
