Abstract

A deep surface-piercing wedge-ended hull model was towed through still water. Measurements of the surface wave pattern confirmed earlier findings for ship models, that the measured bow-wave cusp line often lies well forward of the position predicted by thin-ship theory, and that this shift increases with bow water-line angle and with decreasing model speed. Two possible explanations are considered here in terms of changes of wave phase speed with wave convection and steepness. Calculations based on a transformation method due to Guilloton predict more realistic wave profiles than linear theory, but account for less than half the observed shift. Some tentative conclusions are drawn.

The singularity in the Green's function double integral is removed by an improved method, which simplifies the numerical integration. The new integrand decays within one oscillation.
