Abstract

Scorer (1950) has described an extension of the method of stationary phase. This method is used to derive an approximation to the wave pattern at large distances from the ship in a simple manner. The approximation is valid in the vicinity of the critical angle and the nature of the disturbance in this region is readily seen. The divergent and transverse wave systems in a critical region are shown, together with their variation of amplitude and phase.
