Abstract

The problem solved concerns the disturbance to a stream of shallow water due to an immersed slender body, with special application to the steady motion of ships in shallow water. Formulae valid to first order in slenderness are given for the wave resistance and vertical forces at both sub- and supercritical speeds. The vertical forces are used to predict sinkage and trim of ships and satisfactory comparisons with model experiments are made.
