In this thesis, we compute the shape of a fully immersed object with a given area which minimises the wave resistance. The smooth body moves at a constant speed under the free surface of a fluid which is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible. The wave resistance is the drag, i.e. the horizontal component of the force exerted by the fluid on the obstacle. We work with the 2D Neumann-Kelvin equations, which are obtained by linearising the irrotational Euler equations with a free surface. The Neumann-Kelvin problem is formulated as a boundary integral equation based on a fundamental solution which handles the linearised free surface condition. We use a gradient descent method to find a local minimiser of the wave resistance problem. A grad...
