Can somebody describe wave making resistance in terms of pressure distribution on a body (near or at a free surface)?

SUMMARY
Wave making resistance refers to the resistance encountered by a body moving through water, primarily due to the pressure distribution created by waves at the free surface. This phenomenon is crucial in naval architecture and hydrodynamics, affecting the design and efficiency of marine vessels. Understanding the pressure distribution around a hull can lead to improved performance and reduced fuel consumption in shipbuilding.
PREREQUISITES- Basic principles of hydrodynamics
- Understanding of pressure distribution in fluid mechanics
