This is the link to the mans page that figured this all out.

The Ark was no joke. It was/is a engineeing marvel beyond compare.

 

A simple experiment:

Take a plastic cup, put a small hole (an orifice) . Press it in a sink with water below the waterline slowly (speed of a wave). Pull it up slowly. Simple. The simple orifice now function essentially, just like a shock absorber. The hull is also 'glued' down to the water by suction force. This should dramatically change the motion. This effect is easily varied/throttled by merely adjusting the orifice size.

I think this study/analysis is a good find. I don't fully comprehend what is said, but this is certainly helpful info for actually designing a moon pool, looks like.
