We summarize the ray-theoretic description of Kelvin ship waves in deep and finite depth, deriving the relationship between wavevector and wake angle, the Kelvin wedge, and the scaling of amplitude along rays via wave action conservation, and we connect these to Froude numbers and interference effects between bow and stern waves.

We derive the ship-wave crest relation \(p=a \cos ^2 \theta\) in deep water from the Doppler-shifted dispersion relation and ...

Link Against the GSL Libraries When we compile code with GSL, we need to tell the linker to include the GSL libraries. For ex...
