Inputs applying to all body lengths: ρw = 1025 kg/m3, dt = 0.01 s, θgapemax = 78°, kam = 0.2, kopen/kclose = 1.82, CDopen = 0.5, CDclose = 0.5, CDbody = 0.05, Xjd = 1.2, Γ = 1.2, Vw(0) = 0 m/s, χ = 1.0, φ = 1.6 (0≤ t ≤0.66 topen), φ = 0.0 (0.66 topen < t ≤ tengulf). hsync is computed from Fsync/Xjd = (θgapemax/Γ) sin θgapemax Ljaw/(L0 - Ljaw) (Potvin et al [27]).

The symbols are further explained in the text, in Table 1, or in Text S1.
