Wave pattern jpg?

[surf]

Anyone know where I can find a wave pattern similiar to the one linked without the grid system?

I will use it to get wave in a 3d rendering of a boat in Rhino.

You can make your own using some free software available here on boatdesign.net.

Hovercraft wave patterns and those made by travelling pressure distributions:
FLOTILLA: Hovercraft Hydrodynamics

Collections of Havelock Sources and Sinks:
ZGREEN - Wave Patterns made by Havelock Sources

Monohulls and catamarans:
Flotilla Demo 2.07

Thanks Leo, I will try the links and see if I get the wave pattern that I want.

If you just want a rough approximation (but better than the one on the NIST page) use ZGREEN with a Havelock Source at the bow, and a Sink at the stern.

You could use the Hullspeed demo version and use its slender body method to generate some wave patterns from that. Hullspeed is the resistance prediction module of Maxsurf. Info on Hullspeed is at

A sample picture is attached.
