이상으로부터 다음의 결론을 얻는다. 조파저항 이론의 전개에서 Michell 적분보다 더욱 정밀한 Neumann-Kelvin 문제가 복잡한 kernel 함수 때문에 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하지만, 원점 부근에서 Kelvin 소오스의 점근거동을 조사하여 세장체 근사를 행함으로 N-K 문제의 kernel 함수에 대한 근사와 동등하게 처리될 수 있었다. 조파저항의 계산 결과가 Michell 적분과 비슷한 경향을 보이나, 실험치와의 정확한 비교를 할 수 없었다. 그러나 세장선 이론을 적용함으로써 훨씬 복잡하고 지루한 작업을 들 수 있었다. 전진 속도를 갖는 경우에는 수정된 Green정리를 이용하면 될 것으로 기대된다.

The accurate prediction of the ship wave resistance is very important to design ships which operate satisfactorily in a wave environment. Thus, work should continue on development and validation of methods to compute ship wave patterns and wave resistance. Research efforts to improve the prediction of ship waves and wavemaking resistance are categorized in two major areas. First is the development of higher-order theories to take account of the nonlinear effect of the free surface condition and improved analytical treatment of the body boundary condition. Second is the development of direct numerical methods aimed at solving body and free-surface boundary conditions as accurately as possible. A new formulation of the slender body theory for a ship with constant speed is developed by Maruo. It is quite different from the existing slender ship theory by Vossers, Maruo and Tuck. It may be regarded as a substitute for the Neumann-Kelvin approximation. In present work, the method of asymptotic expansion of the Kelvin source is applied to obtain a new wave resistance formulation in fluid of finite depth. It takes a simple form than existing theory.
