The simulation of ship wave based on Rankine panel method

With the increasing prosperity of shipping industry, the study of ship wave has attracted wide attention. Its significance is to provide a basis for naval engineers to optimize ship design and reduce ship resistance. Based on potential flow theory and rankine panel method, numerical simulation of ship wave is carried out, and the corresponding numerical simulation results of ship wave under different ship size and different Froude number conditions are obtained. Finally, by comparing the above results with the wave patterns obtained by moving point source method, it is found that the former results are more accurately.
