Transient ship waves on an incompressible fluid of infinite depth

Abstract

In this paper, we focus our attention on transient ship waves induced by a submerged moving body in an incompressible fluid assumed to be inviscid or viscous. The Oseen equations are extended to the transient case for the viscous fluid and solved by employing a combinative model. Transient ship waves from calmness to the generation of steady-state ship waves are described. When the viscosity vanishes, the above results are degenerated into those for the inviscid fluid.
