Inoue and others, References 24, studied the effect of trim on the hydrodynamic derivatives both theoretically and experimentally. They suggested the following correction factors for estimating the hydrodynamic derivatives in trimmed condition from even keel values:

where 
, 
and 
, (0) refers to the values of the hydrodynamic derivatives for an even keel condition,
refers to the trimmed condition.
