7.4.4.1. Buoyancy Force
There is a addition data for buoyancy force, submerged volume, Buoyant point. In addition, each geometry’s data also reported. The reference frame of all data is Inertia reference frame.
FM_Buoyancy: The magnitude of buoyancy force.
FX_Buoyancy, FY_Buoyancy, FZ_Buoyancy: Summation of buoyancy force of each geometry. Translational Force of buoyancy at Buoyant Center. The reference frame is Inertia reference frame.
\(F_{Buoyancy}=\sum_{}^{}F_{BuoyancyGeometry}\)
TM_Buoyancy: The magnitude of torque.
TX_Buoyancy, TY_Buoyancy, TZ_Buoyancy: Summation of buoyancy torque of each geometry. The reference frame is Inertia reference frame.
\(\tau_{Buoyancy}=\sum_{}^{}\tau_{BuoyancyGeometry}\)
FM_Drag: The magnitude of Drag force.
FX_Drag, FX_Drag, FY_Drag, FZ_Drag: Summation of drag force of each geometry. The Force of Buoyancy at Buoyant Center. The reference frame is Inertia reference frame.
\(F_{Drag}=\sum_{}^{}F_{DragGeometry}\)
TM_Drag: The magnitude of torque.
TX_Drag, TY_Drag, TZDrag: Summation of drag force of each geometry. The reference frame is Inertia reference frame.
\(\tau_{Drag}=\sum_{}^{}\tau_{DragGeometry}\)
FM_Total: The magnitude of the total force.
FX_Total, FY_Total, FZ_Total: Summation of buoyancy force and drag force.
\(F_{Total}=F_{Buoyancy}+F_{Drag}\)
TM_Total: The magnitude of total torque.
TX_Total, TY_Total, TZ_Total: Summation of buoyancy torque and drag torque.
\(\tau_{Total}=\tau_{Buoyancy}+\tau_{Drag}\)
Submerged_Volume: The volume of an object submerged below the surface of the water. This volume value is used to calculate buoyancy.
PX_Buoyancy: X position of buoyant center point.
PY_Buoyancy: Y position of buoyant center point.
PZ_Buoyancy: Z position of buoyant center point.
Buoyancy_geometries: Force, Submerged volume, buoyant center for each geometry.
