To make something float with the hydrodynamics system the buoyancy forces and moments need to be computed and then input to the generic part of the system as shown above. One way to compute these forces and moments is to generate buoyancy coefficients indexed by the position and orientation of the vessel/aircraft relative to the surface of the water it floats on.

One way to compute these forces and moments is to generate buoyancy coefficients as functions of (read: tables indexed by) the position and orientation of the vessel/aircraft relative to the surface of the water it floats on.
