A bulbous bow achieves this effect by making the waves generated by the ship interfere with those generated by a sphere, and there are other vessels with a similar function, such as a bulb at the stern end. When the ship is far enough away from the ship, the waves it generates are linear dispersive waves called Kelvin waves, but when it is close to the ship, it is a nonlinear wave, which also breaks and has dissipative properties. ...
