Ensuring the structural reliability and interception efficiency of trash-intercepting nets (TINs) is crucial for the security of the water withdrawal engineering of the nuclear power station (NPS). The numerical model of a flexible TIN using the lumped mass method was developed, and its high accuracy in simulating the tension distribution of the net and its deformation was validated through physical model tests. A systematic analysis was performed to investigate the effect of key parameters (i.e., water depth, intercepting rate, and diameter of longitudinal/transversal ropes) on the structural response, including the total anchor force, the main cable tension, the rope tension, and the netting tension. The results show that the tension forces acting on the transversal ropes are dramatically larger than those acting on the longitudinal ropes, and the net experiences the smallest tension force when the diameter of transversal ropes is the same as the diameter of the longitudinal ropes. This study is useful for the safety design of the TIN of the NPS.
