Abstract

Based on Sretenski's formula, the wave resistance in shallow water and in a channel of rectangular cross section is computed for certain mathematical ship forms. The results are plotted as curves and compared with the wave resistance in an unbounded liquid. The use of these curves for the determination of the wave resistance from towing-tank experiments is illustrated through an example.
