vignettes/mooring_elements.Rmd
mooring_elements.RmdThe data stored in data(mooringElements), key features
of which are presented below, are based on the following sources. Each
entry has a column named name that indicates how the item
is designated in calls to functions within the package, and another
column named OriginalName that indicates the name used in
the original source.
mdcodes.mat, contained within
Dewey’s Matlab-based
mooring package (which was the inspiration for the present package).
These entries have “Dewey” in the source column in the tables. The
details of data provenance were not pursued, in creating the present R
package.The buoyancy values are in kg and the
height values are in m.

The buoyancy values are in kg, while height
and width are in m, and CD is unitless. Not
all data sources list height and width (or
comparable values) and so zeros are used in such instances. Since the
only use of these values in the package are to compute area, for a drag
calculation, and since the drag on floats and wires is likely to exceed
that on small elements, this zeroing-out may not pose a large
problem.
