Summary

This document presents the hydrodynamic parameters and modelling assumptions for the Surface Tarpaulin load formulation in AquaSim. It explains how impermeable membrane panels at the water surface interact with waves and current. This document aims to clarify how key coefficients affect drag -, suction-, added mass- and damping forces.

This document is valid for AquaSim version 2.22.0.
