Numerical Simulation of the Kelvin Wake Patterns

The ship wave is of great interest for wave drag and coastal erosion. This paper proposes a mechanism of ship wave transformation to explore the effects of ship speed and ship size on the waveform. Firstly, based on the theory of potential flow, the boundary integral equations for the Kelvin ship wa...
