... C Mel Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, USA Abstract The wave resistance and implied squat of a slender ship advancing near the critical speed in restricted water are studied.

... (1989) found a broad agreement between the experiment and two theoretical models, the generalized Boussinesq and the forced KdV equations, for a moving two-dimensional bottom topography in a shallow water tank.

... , (13) where RO denotes the characteristic transverse radius of ship and the blockage coefficient is simply the area ratio of the midship section to the channel cross-section.

... . Applying the law of mass conservation to the fluid domain surrounded by the ship, the free surface and a control surface located far away from the ship, the source strength is readily 443 2 F2 q = 2 SBSXKX)

... again corresponds to the response to a line source at the ship's centerline, hence takes the following form for small r <,(2)

... For this purpose, let us consider a slender ship whose cross-sectional area varies parabolically 445 In Fig.2, the evolution of the wave field at the critical speed is illustrated with time interval T=0.2 Up to ~=~.o. The parameters are chosen as below: ~=h / L =0.25, W / L= 1.0 (~o=4~0~, SB=0.105 (~=25.6)
From page 446...
... At transcritical speeds, the wave resistance indeed oscillates. The amplitude of oscillation reaches its maximum not at the critical but at a slightly faster speed, and the period becomes longer as speed increases, which supports the experimental findings.
From page 447...
... They found that the maximum channel width is about 20 h for an elongated pressure distribution. Since we are dealing with a slender ship, it may be possible that the downstream waves remain practically two dimensional upto a certain range of channel width.

... For all subcritical speeds it is not clear that steady state cannot be reached, since soliton amplitudes (if 2nd, 3rd, etc. solitons)
From page 454...
... In our slender-body approximation, it can be done only indirectly, if we include the temporal variation of the longitudinal distribution of ship's cross section in terms of source strength .
