  • Description:
    This research project was concerned with the wave resistance experienced by a ship in rectilinear motion with constant speed in a calm sea. More precisely, the project focused on a new analytical theory for predicting the wave resistance of a ship. Two parallel and complementary objectives of the project were: (i) to perform calculations for various idealized geometrical ship forms for the purpose of systematically evaluating and testing the theory, and (ii): to perform theoretical studies with the view of developing numerical procedures for the ultimate practical application of the theory to usual real ship forms.
