On Stationary Waves Superposed to the Flow Around a Body in Uniform Stream

  • Conference paper
Nonlinear Water Waves

Abstract

Over the last decade, certain interest has been focussed on the rate of increase of the stationary ship wave resistance with the speed U when U ~ O. The term “slow ship theory” stands for some attempts to derive flow models and resistance therefrom through more or less rational perturbation analyses governed by an order scheme regarding powers of the Froude number Fn, where the unperturbed state is the “double body flow”, corresponding to the limiting case of infinite gravity, where a rigid wall boundary condition can be imposed over the undisturbed free surface.
