On the Wave-making Resistance for High Speed Vessels

Abstract

In order to investigate minimum resistance for high speed range, resistance tests and wave profile observations by two-dimensional models were carried out and compared with calculations.
The results show that the ship form of minimum resistance will be obtained by concentrating the displacement to bow and stern, and that the corrections for change of trim and displacement will be necessary at high speed to estimate the wavemaking resistance.
Calculations of resistance for actual ship forms are tried at the same time.
