I know this is not what you are looking for, but this material can be handy for visualization later.

Eight years ago I used an Image Sampler to create surfaces with wake patterns, including additional waves outside the pattern.
Here are 22 of the GH files I can find from that period:
wake_wave.zip (4.2 MB)
And this old video that looks like the source of some of your images?

I’ll use the formula presented in this shader.

Looks cool, what’s a “shader”? Does it create surfaces or only illusions?
Care to post a GH example?
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
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 for each mesh vertex.

thank you so so much!!!
Looks promising.
Tells the guy that sends 22 definitions 
None of them required plugins, eh? I looked through them, couldn’t decide which one was best.
Like I said the C# doesn’t need plugin it was just a way to visualize the results.
