Experimental Study of the Wavemaking of Horizontally-Oriented Vorticity in a Wake.

摘要

Towing-tank experiments were conducted in order to investigate the wavemaking of horizontally-oriented vorticity in a wake. It was found that the amplitudes of the surface disturbance,measured with three capacitance wires,were about one tenth of those generated by a ship model of the same length and Froude number. Furthermore,the wave resistance was about one percent of that obtained for a Series-60model of the same wetted-surface area. (Author)
