Abstract
We study the onset of the wave-resistance due to the generation of capillary-gravity waves by a partially immersed moving object in the case where the object is hold at a fixed immersion depth. We show that, in this case, the wave resistance varies continuously with the velocity, in qualitative accordance with recent experiments by Burghelea et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2557 (2001)).
