"If you did manage to produce enough power, could you power through the
bow wave and thus produce a shock wave?" If you did, you would be on plane, traveling over the water for the most part, and leaving any remnant of a bow wave behind the boat. Any relation of this phenomena to a sonic or acoustical shock wave is only academic, since the speed of sound in water is about 5 times faster than air, so it isn't likely that there will ever be a watercraft moving at 3500mph. |
