Features: Based on similar monographs already existing in China, this book provides a certain degree of summary and overview of the main developments in ship wave-making resistance theories both domestically and internationally. It aims to play a connecting role in advancing and applying ship wave-making resistance theories in the 21st century. In addition to offering a brief review of linear wave theory, the book systematically introduces the modern applications of linear theory and ship-generated solitary waves in shallow water and narrow channels. It focuses on discussing various problems related to the application of the Rankine source method in ship wave-making resistance theory. Finally, it provides an in-depth discussion on optimization techniques for various ship types. This book can serve as a reference for graduate students, teachers, and relevant scientific researchers in ship mechanics.
