Wave-Induced Motion And Its Effects On Drag Of Giant Kelp

Simulation outputs for ten wave periods, including initial reconfiguration. Note that the manuscript involved analysis only from the last wave cycles. [*] denotes simulation parameters."drags_[plant length][wave height][wave period]": time, drag (per unit effective mass) in the x direction, drag (per unit effective mass) in the z direction, drag (per unit effective mass) in the x direction integrated over the bottom half of the plant, drag (per unit effective mass) in the x direction integrated over the top half of the plant "forces_[plant length][wave height][wave period]": time, total force (per unit effective mass) in the x direction, pressure gradient and added mass forces (per unit effective mass) in the x direction, maxium tension (per unit effective mass) over entire plant length"urel_[plant length][wave height][wave period]": time, relative velocity at 0.2 [plant length] (m/s), relative velocity at 0.4 [plant length] (m/s), relative velocity at 0.6 [plant length] (m/s), relative velocity at 0.8 [plant length] (m/s), relative velocity at plant tip (m/s)"x_[plant length][wave height][wave period]": time, x-position of each segment in m (50 in total)"z_[plant length][wave height][wave period]": time, z-position of each segment in m (50 in total)
