✦ Synopsis

Tests conducted on a model 'Busemann biplane' catamaran in a towing basin qualitatively showed that the form of the wave drag coefficient curve followed the typical drag curve for a single unswept supersonic wing, but on this was superimposed that of the Busemann wave drag curve (giving a local minimum near the design Froude number).

## Abstract Numerical predictions of the drag coefficient for air flow above a train of monochromatic water waves are presented. The air is assumed to be neutrally stratified, and the water surface aerodynamically rough, characterized by a local small‐scale roughness length __Z__^o^ associated prim

Hill's extremum principles are not directly applicable to an Ellis model fluid. A method of adapting Hill's principles to the Ellis model was developed and used to calculate upper and lower bounds on the drag coefficient for a sphere moving slowly through such a fluid. Amilable experimental data wer
