• Coordinate system for comparision is ship-fixed at midship on the undisturbed waterplane.

• ,

where, is towing carriage speed, is the gravitational acceleration and is the kinematic viscosity of water.

• All quantities are non-dimensionalized with water density (), ship speed (), lateral underwater area (), and the length between perpendiculars ().

• From the Fourier series expansion of and ,

damping parts are

and inertial parts are
