How about the Pierre Gutelle book?
I have it in french but it is available in english, Wooden Boat sells it.
I found all the math theory about wave resistance with formulas in the 2nd
chapter then, it is applied in chapter 5.
He also shows a good bibliography listing many papers and books about wave
resistance.
Gutelle may give you all the answers you are looking for.

Thanks, but I think anyone writing on boats is more interested in
applying the theory (of fluid dynamics) than explaining or, indeed,
deriving it.

I'm quite prepared to read a textbook on the subject. It's not
_quantum_ physics...
