... an inertial coefficient, Cm, and water particle acceleration. This equation is applicable to small objects (compared to the wave length) where wave kinematics do not change appreciably over a distance equal to the width of the structural element. Morison's equation is more nearly correct when used...

... the kinematic water canes have been analyzed to provide the particle velocity and acceleration. A drag and inertial coefficients of Morison s secondary consideration is the change of wave force equation. These coefficients these wave force coefficients with changes are required to help determine design loads...
