Concept explainers
A submerged body traveling horizontally beneath a liquid surface at a Froude number (based on body length) about 0.5 produces a strong surface wave pattern if submerged less than half its length. (The wave pattern of a surface ship also is pronounced at this Froude number.) On a log-log plot of speed versus body (or ship) length for 1 m/s < V < 30 m/s and 1 m < x < 300 m, plot the line Fr = 0.5.
