  2. Ship motions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_motions

    This motion is generated directly either by the water and wind motion, particularly lateral wave motion, exerting forces against the hull or by the ship's own propulsion; or indirectly by the inertia of the ship while turning. This movement can be compared to the vessel's lateral drift from its course.

  3. Animation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation

    Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) is the process that was used for most animated films of the 20th century. [59] The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper. [60] To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one ...

  4. Stop motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_motion

    A clay model of a chicken, designed to be used in a clay stop motion animation [1]. Stop motion (also known as stop frame animation) is an animated filmmaking and special effects technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion or change when the series of frames is played back.

  5. Fluid animation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_animation

    Fluid animation refers to computer graphics techniques for generating realistic animations of fluids such as water and smoke. [1] Fluid animations are typically focused on emulating the qualitative visual behavior of a fluid, with less emphasis placed on rigorously correct physical results, although they often still rely on approximate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquamania

    Aquamania is an American animated Goofy cartoon produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution on December 20, 1961. [1]This cartoon was the last from Disney's "Golden Era" which featured Goofy as a solo star, and the first time the xerography animation-technique was used in a Goofy cartoon.

  7. Wake (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(physics)

    Waterfowl and boats moving across the surface of water produce a wake pattern, first explained mathematically by Lord Kelvin and known today as the Kelvin wake pattern. [1] This pattern consists of two wake lines that form the arms of a chevron, V, with the source of the wake at the vertex of the V.

  8. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    Consider a boat moving from right to left with constant speed v, emitting waves of varying wavelength, and thus wavenumber k and phase velocity c(k), of interest when < v for a shock wave (cf., e.g., Sonic boom or Cherenkov radiation). Equivalently, and more intuitively, fix the position of the boat and have the water flow in the opposite ...

  9. Watercraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercraft

    Human effort is used through a pole pushing against the bottom of shallow water, or paddles or oars operating in the surface of the water. Wind power is used by sails; Towing is used, either from the land, such as the bank of a canal, with the motive power provided by draught animals, humans or machinery, or one watercraft may tow another.
