Slender-ship shallow-water flow past a slowly varying bottom

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The unsteady subcritical potential flow of a slender ship moving past a slowly varying bottom in shallow water is analyzed using the methods of matched asymptotic expansions and multiple scales. The hydrodynamic pressure field on the ship is obtained to second order in the slenderness parameter.
