INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON THEORETICAL WAVERESISTANCE, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 19-23, 1963. VOLUME II

Abstract

Contents: Trial calculation of a hull form of decreased wave resistance by method of steep descent; analysis of wave profile alongside the ship; mathematical tables for determining wave profiles; design of ship model basins with special reference to 'wave analysis' work; determination of wave- making resistance from surface-profile measurements; wave resistance of a partly immersed axisymmetric body; Fourier transform method for calculating wavemaking resistance from wave height on a line parallel to a ship's track; motion of a ship in restricted water; Vossers' integral; velocity potential and wave resistance from motion of a slender ship; linear theories for ship motion; energy relation for wave resistance of ships in a seaway; application of Friederichs' technique to the ship problem; slender body theory; thin-ship theory; wave resistance for polynomial centerplane singularity distributions; wave-free distributions and their applications.
