When you say "Float" as a verb like "Float a model ship in a pond" the verb in Japanese is 浮かべる so we can say that 浮かぶ is a result of the action 浮かべる. In other words, the relation between 浮かぶ and 浮かべる is very close. On the other hand, 浮く hasn't such related words.
So when you say 彼は水に浮かんでいる, his intention is implied there while the sentence 彼女はあおむけに浮いている is just an observation.
