THE APPLICATION OF FRIEDRICHS TECHNIQUE TO THE SHIP PROBLEM.

Abstract

The roblem is considered of a ship moving with uniform velocity over a semi-infinite ocean at rest at infinity. An expansion procedure suggested by Professor K. O. Friedrichs is used to arrive at a perturbation of this problem. The perturbation problem is then solved by making use of a Green's function derived by Peters and Stoker. Green's theorem is applied to obtain the perturbation potential to the second order in the perturbation parameter. The corresponding problem of multiple hull ships is than solved. The wave resistance of the above ships is calculated and the problem of fixed displacement hull shapes having minimum wave resistance for the large Froude numbers is studied. (Author)
