This book explores the behavior of the motion of a ship moving with constant velocity into a sea of waves, examining the impact of the waves on the ship's hull, and the forces that arise as a result of this interaction. The author presents a general perturbation scheme to tackle the equations defining the motion of the ship, and uses this approach to solve for specific cases, including a thin ship moving in a straight line with the wave fronts perpendicular to the line of motion of the ship. The book draws upon the author's own research in potential theory to explore the mathematical underpinnings of the problem, and provides numerical results for the forces acting on the ship. Through these investigations, the author provides insights into the behavior of ships in waves and contributes to the understanding of fluid-structure interactions in naval architecture.
