Global reference frame

The global coordinate system O(\vec{e_1},\vec{e_2},\vec{e_3}) is as follows:

  • The point O(0,0,0) is on the mean free surface,

  • the vector \vec{e_1} defines the X coordinate,

  • the vector \vec{e_2} defines the Y coordinate,

  • the vector \vec{e_3} defines the Z coordinate and is upward.
