This theoretical explanation assumes that the wave pattern of a ship mostly consists of dominant waves that are created by the ship bow and stern, and is mostly determined by interference effects between these dominant waves. The analysis of interference effects on the Kelvin wake of a ship ...
Kelvin wave patternWater waveExperimental visualizationCirculating water channelSurface tensionKelvin wave patterns around small-scale ship models can be visualized by means of a flat plate with longitudinal white and black stripes fixed on the bottom of a circulating water channel lightened by a few ...
The wave pattern generated by a moving ship is formed by two dominant features: the turbulent wake and a 'V'-shaped pattern trailing the ship, consisting of the two Kelvin arms. In this paper we investigate the radar imaging mechanism of Kelvin arms, which are formed by the cusp waves. ...
The theme of this week’sThat’s Mathscolumn in theIrish Times(TM021) is Kelvin Wakes, the beautiful wave patterns generated as a duck or swan swims through calm, deep water or in the wake of a ship or boat. Group Velocity A stone dropped in a pond generates waves in a beautiful cha...
Forecast skill is enhanced when the forecast is initialized with strong coastal wave activity Plain Language Summary Accurate ocean forecasts along the U.S. west coast are important tools to enable proactive decision making by marine resource managers. However, due to the chaotic nature of the clima...
