Figure 6 (a) shows the displacement of the tip of the beam parallel to the bottom of the tank (in the rotating reference frame) for the simulation of the rolling tank with a standing beam in shallow oil. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* rolling_tank_shallow_oil_simulation.dat
* rolling_tank_shallow_oil_experiment.dat
=> 1st column = time
   2nd column = displacement


Figure 6 (b) shows the displacement of the tip of the beam parallel to the bottom of the tank (in the rotating reference frame) for the simulation of the rolling tank with a standing beam in deep oil. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* rolling_tank_deep_oil_simulation.dat
* rolling_tank_deep_oil_experiment.dat
=> 1st column = time
   2nd column = displacement


Figure 6 (c) shows the displacement of the tip of the beam parallel to the bottom of the tank (in the rotating reference frame) for the simulation of the rolling tank with a hanging beam above shallow water. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* rolling_tank_shallow_water_simulation.dat
* rolling_tank_shallow_water_experiment.dat
=> 1st column = time
   2nd column = displacement


Figure 10 (a) shows the deformation of the flexible cylinder as a function of time for the falling cylinder. The deformation is defined as the initial distance between the top and bottom of the cylinder minus the current distance between the top and bottom. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* falling_composite_cylinder_simulation.dat
=> 1st column = time
   2nd column = y-coordinate of the top of the cylinder
   3rd column = y-coordinate of the bottom of the cylinder


Figure 10 (b) shows the vertical velocity at the bottom of the rigid and flexible cylinder as a function of time. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* falling_composite_cylinder_simulation.dat
* falling_rigid_cylinder_simulation.dat
=> 1st column = time
   2nd column = y-coordinate of the top of the cylinder


Figure 10 (c) shows the vertical force on the entire rigid and flexible cylinder as a function of time. This figure can be reproduced with the data in:

* falling_composite_cylinder_simulation.dat
* falling_rigid_cylinder_simulation.dat
=> 1st column = time
   4th column = vertical force on the entire cylinder
