The heave position monitor looks fine; it is oscilating as I expected. Although it does not match precisely with the experimental data that I am trying to validate, do you have any suggestions on how I can increase the accuracy? 
After letting the experiment run for some hours, this is what the residuals look like (see image below).
The heave decay monitor, which I am trying to match with experimental data, is also attached below. For reference, Palm_exp and Palm_Openfoam are the data I am trying to validate using Fluent.

I am thinking about decreasing the mesh size once more to make it fine.
