Ship squat in water of varying depth

Two theories are described which predict ship squat in water of varying depth. Firstly, a one-dimensional theory is proposed for a ship in a narrow channel of varying depth. This is solved analytically in the case of a step depth change, and numerically for general depth profiles. Secondly, a slende...
