HIGHER ORDER WAVE THEORY FOR SLENDER SHIPS

Abstract

The free surface condition of the surface wave is considered on the free surface itself instead of the mean free surface, by the use of a coordinate transformation, together with the scheme of a systematic expansion in a small parameter. Thus a higher order ship wave theory is developed. The most common practical case of a slender ship with an almost flat bottom is especially treated in detail. The lowest order result is the same as that given Michell's theory. The next higher order potential and wave resistance are derived explicitly.
