Abstract
A knowledge of the height and period as well as the crestline pattern for waves generated by a particular ship as a function of ship speed and water depth is of value to coastal and waterway engineers. The characteristics of ship-generated waves are reviewed briefly. Some data on the wave heights generated by a variety of ships moving at a range of speed are presented. Known sources of data on ship-generated waves are referenced and areas for future research are suggested. This is the last of seven state-of-the-art papers on the design of navigation channels, written by members of the ASCE Task Committee on Ship Channels.
