This thesis is a fundamental research exclusively on wavemaking phenomena generated by a planing flat plate. The phenomena are quite different according to whether the generating plate has infinite or finite span. This paper deals with the experimental investigations of the pressure distributions on a planing flat plate of infinite span in a circulating water channel and the theoretical investigations of ones by the analytical method. The relations between the parameters controling the wave generation, pressure distributions and generated waves are investigated. As results, the mechanisms of pressure distribution on a planing flat plate are well observed and understood as a whole.
