An expression for the velocity potential of the flow around a slender ship moving at constant speed is derived by Fourier integral transforms. The solution is made unique by the condition that at infinity ahead of the ship the velocity must vanish. The result obtained with Michell’s expression is shown to be equivalent to that obtained using the method of Havelock, who introduces an artificial dissipation factor.
