Abstract
Flow around a two-dimensional semi-infinite theoretical model of a ship bow is investigated with the aim of deriving a bow shape which possesses the desirable property of "splashlessness." There is numerical evidence that such flows can exist only for special body geometries. The flows of interest in this study possess a stagnation point at the attachment point and demand underwater bodies of a bulbous type, in order to be splashless. The nature of the solutions is discussed, giving analytical evidence, and a numerical scheme is then presented. The variation in the bulb shape and size with Froude number is discussed in detail.
