# Best Practices

## Best Practices


1. **Frequency range** - Cover full wave spectrum of interest (typically 0.02-0.5 rad/s)
2. **Direction convention** - Use consistent direction convention (from/to, bow=0°)
3. **Unit consistency** - Verify units (rad/s vs Hz, degrees vs radians)
4. **Causality check** - Validate coefficients with Kramers-Kronig before use
5. **Matrix symmetry** - Verify added mass symmetry for physical consistency
