Study on Waves Generated by a Planing Flat Plate-VII : Numerical Computation on Waves Generated by Three Dimensional Pressure Disturbance

Abstract

This paper is a fundamental research exclusively on wavemaking phenomena generated by a planing flat plate of finite span. In the 6th report, the three dimensional wavemaking phenomena, obtained by the analytical calculations are compared with the experimental ones. These calculations of generated waves are carried out by using the running physical disturbance model on the free-surface. This paper deals with numerical computation by a finite differential scheme on surface waves which are generated by a running pressure disturbance. The computational surface waves are compared with ones generated by a planing flat plate of finite span.
