What kind of motion should you impart to the nozzle or a garden hose?
What kind of motion should you impart to the nozzle or a garden hose so that the resulting stream of water approximates a sine curve?What kind of motion should you impart to the nozzle or a garden hose?Keep at steady 45 degrees to ground. the water will follow half sine wave curve approx. (projectile movement)What kind of motion should you impart to the nozzle or a garden hose?Assuming you want an entire sine curve I would forget up and down motion since gravity is not your friend in this case. You would need to sweep the hose side to side, going the same distance past the mid point in each direction, at a constant speed. But this isn't a very good approximation either.

Vibrating the end of the hose up and down [or side to side] should result in a transverse wave. Longitudinal waves with a hose would not be very practical since water is essentially incompressible.
