Calculation of Wave-making Resistance by Guilloton's Method Applied to Slender Ships

This paper deals with Guilloton's method for wave-making resistance calculation. Ship is considered as slender in this paper. Guillotin's method requires a large and fast computer, while mini-computer is good enough for the present method. Present method is practical as well, as prismatic curves along with other principal particulars are requirements for the calculation. Unless the ship is thin, Z-transformation is difficult to carry out, but this can be done smoothly in the present method by considering the flow around the bottom of the ship. As an example of this method, corresponding real hulls of Maruo's least wave-making resistance ship forms are calculated.
