Baker and Kent arrived at a criterion for predicting interference phenomena from
the results of a large number of experiments carried out by themselves and also
Froude.
They found that the wave-making length was equal to CpL+λ/4 and thus varied
with speed. This relation leads to ℗ theory and yields the following results:
CpL+λ/4 =k λ
Cp
(a) When the ship obtains speed of (i) 13.402 knots, (ii) 26.804 knot & (iii)
40.206 knot, then how many wave lengths are contained in its length.
(b) Again when the vessel obtains speed of (i) 12.5 knot (ii) 14 knots & (iii) 20
knots, will the ship be considered as operating in favorable condition in
respect of wave-making resistance. In cases when you think the ship is not
operating in favorable condition, what precautions should be taken?
