Steady Ship Waves at Low Froude Numbers. Part 1.

Abstract

A simple practical numerical method for estimating the wave resistance and the wave pattern of a ship operating at low Froude number is presented. The method is based upon approximating the two-fold integral over the ship-hull surface involved in the usual basic expression for the far-field wave-amplitude function by a one-fold integral around the ship mean waterline.
