A Numerical Approach to Determine Attitude Dynamics of Floating Bodies with Irregular Configurations

This study acquires the attitude dynamics of floating bodies with irregular configurations using an effective computational model, which has been validated theoretically and verified by experiments. By comparison a correlation formula was described to predict inclinations for the floating slender bo...
