2. Sketch

  • Note zin is the value used to interpolate in the Zd-table

  • ZCOEF is the location of zero on the cross section of the slender element

    • ZCOEFF = 0 , default: starts at the free surface

    • ZCOEFF = - depth : starts the sea bottom

  • ξ is the wave elevation

  • Zstrip is the distance from Zg to the center of the slender element
