Froude-Krilov Force

The sectional Froude-Krilov wave force is given in Equation ( 29 ), note that this equation includes the water density, r, and the wave amplitude, z. Again the depth attenuation exponent has the opposite sign since Seakeeper sign convention has z +ve down (for the 2D section data only):

Expanding the sine and cosine terms, this may be rewritten as follows:
