improving performance - reverse bulbous bow principle, amplify wave near stern

It is not. Where did you get that idea from?

 

From here http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/hy...hull-asymmetry-minimum-wave-drag-38260-9.html

"With pressure distributions, the equivalent of the thin-ship
assumption is that the pressures and waves are small, i.e.
the linearisation of the free-surface boundary condition is
justified. The length-to-beam ratio is not really all that relevant.
Incidentally, (inviscid) wave resistance predictions agree well
with experiments with travelling pressure distributions,
presumably because viscosity plays a very minor role.
We confirmed the optimality of fore-aft pressures in:

Leo, I know this is your work. Please tell me where I am misinterpreting.

 

I see where your confusion came from.
By "pressure distributions" I mean the pressure of air cushions as in a hovercraft, not the pressure distribution on the body of a solid hull.
