Abstract

In this paper, considering the fact that accompanying with fundamental studies on the motion of ships, for instance on their steering faculty or manoeuvability, the theory of wave resistance of ships moving non-uniformly claims its significance, the author gives a fundamental formula for the surface disturbance of water in some general forms. Then some problems are studied as its applications. One of them is a calculation of additional virtual mass of spheres and spheroids floating on the surface of water. Another application is a calculation of wave resistance of a submerged circular cylinder moving along a straight line.
