Potential Theory of Steady Motion of Ships. Part 4. Low-Froude-Number Approximations.

Abstract

The main object of the present Part 4 of the 'generalized Neumann-Kelvin theory' of ship wave resistance is to present 'low-Froude-number wave-resistance approximations' as well as 'low-Froude-number slender-ship approximations', which supplement the basic 'slender-ship approximations' obtained in Parts 2 and 3. First- and second-order approximations are given explicitly. Furthermore, a new integral equation for evaluating potential flow about a ship hull in the 'zero-Froude-number limit' is presented and discussed. (Author)
