ГРАФИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ ВОЛНОВЫХ ПОЛЕЙ СВОБОДНОЙ ПОВЕРХНОСТИ ВОДЫ ОТ ДВИЖУЩИХСЯ СУДОВ И ПАРЫ ПОСЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬНО РАСПОЛОЖЕННЫХ СТОЕК

Abstract

The paper presents a comparison of the photographic material of the wave patterns resulted from the movement of a ship in situ and a model ship, as well as from two consecutive posts, their regularities being found through graphical processing. The possibility to find the fore imaginary source of Kelvin wave pattern forming the ship's wave system is given at a distance 
 of one wavelength before the top of the bow retaining wave. The equality of the length of trans-verse waves and divergent waves along the outer boundaries of the latter zone is fixed. It has been assumed that the intermediate waves generated between the main waves in the model ship and the posts are regular, imposition of wave patterns in a pair of consistently moving racks depending on the hit of the rear rack in the wave field of the first rack has been stated. Regularly occurring flows around moving posts are discussed. The bow and stern system of Kelvin waves in a ship wave sys-tem has been illustrated (the angle of the midpoint of diverging wave crests with the ship’s diamet-rical plane and the angle of diverging wave crests with the ship’s diametrical plane). The photo-graphs presented were taken in the experimental tank of Siberian State University of Water Transport (Novosibirsk State Academy of Water Transport) in 2006. A thin film naturally generat-ed on the water surface of the experimental tank and given a structure directed along the tank due to previous runs helped to visualize the distortion of the free water surface in better quality and to obtain clearly outlined contours in lighting.
