Estimating waves via measured ship responses
AbstractOptimisation of energy efficiency and operational performance as well as assessment of safety levels and emissions of marine operations require detailed information about the acting wave system. It is possible—with an analogy to classical wave buoys—to estimate the directional wave spectrum by processing sensor measurements of wave-induced ...

Measurements and Analysis of Primary Ship Waves in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden
Primary ship waves generated by conventional marine vessels were investigated in the Furusund fairway located in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. Continuous water level measurements at two locations in the fairway were analyzed.

CFD Prediction of Ship Seakeeping and Slamming Behaviors of a Trimaran in Oblique Regular Waves
The main hull encounters waves at first and causes waves to break, when trimarans are subject to the slamming in head waves. At this moment, emergence phenomena of side hulls will not occur. Thus, the slamming study of trimarans in oblique waves presents

A comprehensive study on ship motion and load responses in short-crested irregular waves
Wave-induced ship motion and load responses are usually investigated on the assumption that the incident waves are long-crested. The realistic sea waves are however short-crested irregular waves.

AbstractShip wakes are fascinating. They can be observed by the human eye and appear to have a V shape when the ship is advancing at constant speed along a straight trajectory. Under idealized conditions, Kelvin found that the angle between the two branches of the V is ${\sim }39^\circ $. However, in a number of cases, this angle appears to be smaller.

The Influence of Ship Waves on Sediment Resuspension in the Large Shallow Lake Taihu, China. [PDF]
Sediment resuspension induces endogenous nutrient release in shallow lakes, which has been demonstrated to be associated with eutrophication. In addition to natural wind-driven resuspension, navigable shallow lakes (such as Lake Taihu, China) also ...

§§ 32–64. Canal Ship-Waves.§ 32. To avoid the somewhat cumbrous title “Two-dimensional,” I now use the designation “Canal † Waves” to denote waves in a canal with horizontal bottom and vertical sides, which, if not two-dimensional in their source, become more and more approximately two-dimensional at greater and greater distances from the source.

§ 65. Referring to § 63, we must, for the present, as time presses, leave detailed interpretation of the curves of fig. 17: merely remarking that, according to § 44, if δ=0, (which means that J is an integer), the disturbance, d, is infinitely great; of which the dynamical meaning is clear in (70) of § 39.

The theory of ship waves [PDF]
The theory of ship waves, when the sea is considered to be of infinite depth, has been the subject of many researches. When the sea is of finite depth the integrals involved are more complicated, but in this case also the theory has been worked out in considerable detail.

Effects of wind waves versus ship waves on tidal marsh plants: a flume study on different life stages of Scirpus maritimus. [PDF]
Recent research indicates that many ecosystems, including intertidal marshes, follow the alternative stable states theory. This theory implies that thresholds of environmental factors can mark a limit between two opposing stable ecosystem states, e.g ...
