Study of internal waves in the case of rapid horizontal motion of cylinders and spheres

Abstract

A sphere and a cylinder are simulated by mass sources distributed over their surfaces, and expressions are obtained for the wave resistance of such sources moving horizontally in an exponentially stratified fluid. It is shown that then, in contrast to the case of simulation of such bodies by point dipoles, the paradox of an infinite wave resistance does not arise. Different variants of the method of equivalent sources are discussed.
