Summary

Description
English: Wavefronts (lines of constant phase) for a moving point source of surface waves in comoving frame of reference (animation). The source moves at a constant speed, the radii of wavefronts being proportional to the square of time. The envelope of the wavefronts is clearly seen and represents the Kelvin wake pattern.
Русский: Линии постоянной фазы движущегося точечного источника поверхностных волн в системе отсчета, связанной с источником (анимация).

Источник движется с постоянной скоростью, радиус каждого волнового фронта пропорционален квадрату времени (отсчитываемого от момента испускания фронта).

Огибающая семейства линий представляет характерный элемент волновой картины за кораблем (клина Кельвина).
