Estimated torques. (a) Contour plot of inertial torque per unit length with respect to the CoM against normalized position along the body (Inline graphic) and time. (b) Inertial body torque τbody against time (black); torque on the body due to dynamic pressure, τdynp (green). (c) Contour plot of torque on the body per unit length due to dynamic pressure against Inline graphic and time. (d) Contour plot of torque on the body per unit length due to shear-force distribution against Inline graphic and time. (e) Inertial body torque τbody against time (black); torque on the body torque due to shear-force distribution, τfric (blue) and acceleration reaction forces (τacc) × 0.2 (red). (f) Contour plot of torque per unit length on the body due to acceleration reaction forces against Inline graphic and time.
