    This video is about the "Kelvin wake" shape of water wakes behind boats - we talk about mach angle, dispersion, superposition of many waves, and how these all lead to the pattern of a wake. We don't get into Froude number though...

    It’s amazing to see those waves come together to make the recognizable wake pattern. I didn’t know it would be that complicated but it’s really interesting to think about

    Years ago when I was riding a boat, I thought about a way to know the speed of the ship I was riding in. I got the idea because I knew that the angle of the shockwave of a supersonic thing relates to its speed, so I looked outside expecting a fine, singular wave. I got surprised about what I found and asked myself why. Thank you for finally answering this
