.... The computer program used for design purposes in this paper-gives buoy response curves for a given set of buoy and ocean parameters. Typical parameters which may be varied are buoy size, weight, drag coefficient, inertial coefficient, virtual mass coefficient, ocean depth, buoy depth, wave height and period...
