A Closed Form Approximation for the Wave Resistance of a Moving Uniform Pressure Distribution Acting over a Rectangular Planform.

Abstract

A closed form approximation for the wave resistance of a uniform pressure distribution acting over a rectangular planform moving with constant forward speed along an unbounded free water surface of infinite depth is derived and comparisons are made with linearized theory. (Author)
