for some selected cases taking the free surface into account in order to check if the initial assumptions regarding it's small influence on the results have to be revised.
Fig. 4 shows the computed non-dimensional roll moment about the longitudinal axis at the water plane. The results for pure drift motion (r'=0) are compared with measurements. The agreement is very satisfactory.
