In this report, the Michell’s thin-ship theory which is a linear wave-making theory, is evaluated to investigate its accuracy in predicting the wave-making resistance stimulated by ships. The theory gives poor estimates for conventional hull forms at relative low speed range (Fn<0.30), specifical...
