The phrase "ship wake" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It refers to the trail of disturbed water left behind a ship as it travels through the water. Here's an example sentence: As the cruise ship made its way through the calm waters, the passengers stood on the deck, watching the mesmerizing patterns of the ship wake.
The paper presents the results of the application of a new hybrid URANS LES method for the investigations of the ship wake behind the tanker KVLCC2.
Interaction with the ship hull is taken into account in the form of given non-uniform velocity field of the ship wake.
The first device WAFon composes of flow-control fins adapted for the ship wake to reduce the loss of rotational energy.
In initial results presented here, surface motion was deduced from the displacement of a ship wake appearing in the Sun glitter regime of an ASTER image of the Izu Shoto islands, which lie to the southwest of Tokyo Bay, Japan.
Inside a ship wake, in inclined shaft condition, in tandem/contra rotating configurations, the spatial non uniformity of the incoming flow on the propeller plane leads to the unsteadiness responsible of thrust and torque fluctuations, induced pressures, cavitation and the associated noise.
Indeed, constructive interferences among the divergent waves created by a fast ship largely determine the variation of the amplitude of the waves across the ship wake, and therefore the apparent wake angle and the wave drag of the ship, a critical element of ship design.
The ship woke on January 10th to the news that the Marines were finally going ashore in force.
The judge ruled that the corps' activities allowed the channel to double its width, failed to protect the channel's banks against ship wakes and allowed saltwater to exacerbate the loss of wetlands in the area.
Natural foaming agents in the sea chemicals often derived from phytoplankton help create bright, white microbubbles in ship wakes that persist for about 10 minutes.
In their simulator, realistic sea surfaces are generated using the two-scale model on a semi-deterministic basis, so as to incorporate the presence of ship wakes in the simulation (Arnold-Bos et al. 2006).
Rabaud and Moisy never explain why a boat cannot excite waves longer that itself, says Yuming Liu, a hydrodynamicist with at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, who says he's been studying ship wakes for 20 years.
