Abstract
Characteristics of nonlinear stern waves generated by simple 3-D hull forms are studied. They are under the influence of bow waves and local flow due to the 3-D configuration of sterns and consequently their formation and magnitude depend on the particular dimensions of the hull forms. The generation of nonlinear stern waves can be controlled by attenuating the slope of wave profile or suppressing the upward oriented flow at the stern. Both modification of waterlines and attaching stern-end-fins are effective for the weakening of nonlinear stern waves.Keywords
