Ship waves in the presence of uniform vorticity — mentioned by semi-extrinsic

There's plenty examples indeed if you just dig around. I have a colleague who published a theoretical paper [0] in one of the top fluid mechanics journals 5 years back. That paper originated from his lecture notes in a course that he gave for the first time, where in one part he followed the classical theory of waves behind a ship done by Lord Kelvin and others back in the olden days. Then he thought "Hmm, how do we extend this so it works if there is a current in the water?" And it turned out to be both possible to solve analytically, and that nobody had done it before. Nobody had thought it…
