Naval architecture

the part of a ship's drag spent creating the surface wave system it leaves behind, computed from hull shape by a thin-ship integral.

In naval architecture, wave-making resistance refers to the part of a ship's drag spent creating the surface wave system it leaves behind, computed from hull shape by a thin-ship integral. This meaning comes from Michell (1898) in The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science.[1]
