The aquafarm is a system used for breeding fish by using sea water. The main advantage of this paper presents the characteristics of fluid flow and temperature distribution at different plans in the aquafarm by the variations of inlet pipe position, inlet water temperature and flow rate. The paper aims to find an optimum combination of these factors which produces a velocity and temperature profile ideally suited for the breeding of a certain type of fish.The numerical analysis has been developed for calculating the velocity and temperature distributions in a rectangular model of an actual aquafarm scaled down by 25 times, the finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm being used for the numerical analysis. The numerical model is based on the assumptions of steady state incompressible flow and uses 3-dimensional standard k-εturbulence model. Experiments were also done. This exprements ware compared with the results of numerical analysis showed good agreement.
