From this expression, some characteristics of the ship wave are described. There exists a smooth region nearθ=0°, but when the uniform stream passes the other singularities (source, sink, doublet, etc.) there is no smooth region. The mechanism of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the narrow ship wakes is also explained.展开更多
