Creating Kelvin Wave off a path curve

[Nam-Y_Nguyen]

Hey guys,

I am trying to model a kelvin wave pattern that stems off of a central path that the boat travels through. Furthermore, I would like to get the linework for the tranverse waves + the divergent wave in plan view via grasshopper

Anybody knows how I can get this or to approach this?

Thank you!

Hello

is it OK ?

Water shape made by boats when moving

I am on it. Just began Here I understand the shader is doing some black and white. using some parameter (mouse position) A more simple one . Example of shader application Not there yet, but seems encouraging [image] Still some work to do to tune to Grasshopper, coordinates in Shadertoy seems between -1 to 1, some others values could be changed to change the scale … Some Nautilus Component to color the mesh or bump but could be replaced by some GH components. Output A is a double value…

How would you recommend I graph it on a non-straight path and divided it? What I’m after is not the mesh but the transverse + the divergent at any point in time as a 2d line work.

It surely depend what you have as input. If it is pure Math there is surely some definition and equation.
