Maruo's theorem

MARUO'S THEOREM

Added resistance in regular waves due to hull motion, , from Maruo's theorem* as follows:









where;


: Fluid density; : Gravity acceleration; : Ship's speed; : Incident regular wave frequency; : Wave direction (0 degrees head wave);
is a function defined by the singularity distribution and represents the periodic disturbance caused by the hull.
