The Calculation of Ship Wave in Shallow Water by Finite Difference Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the shallow water wave potential flow theory and slender ship assumption, the mathematical model is established for calculating wave caused by ship moving at supercritical speed. The wave pattern caused by ship moving at supercritical speed in shallow water was calculated by using the finite difference method. The effects of channel wall were analyzed. The computed results were compared with the ones calculated by Fourier integral transform method and experiment. A good agreement exists between the calculated with experimental results. The mathematical model and the calculation method were validated.
