Modeling Motion of Anchored Buoy?

[LaunaG]

Hello! I would like to create a Kernel that simulates the motion of a buoy that is anchored to the bottom of the ocean with a rope. Does anyone know of past attempts made to accomplish this, or have suggestions for simple approaches or physics equations to consider?

Oh wow, that is an ambitious project. I do not know of anyone who has implemented this in Parcels; but if you have an equation then it shouldn't be that difficult? Let me know if I can help
