Analytical Equation

y(x, t) = A_0 \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^{1.6} \sin\left(\omega t - \frac{2\pi x}{\lambda}\right), \quad w(x) = w_{\max} \sin\left(\frac{\pi x}{L}\right)

Compact Formula

spine_wave = (x/L)^1.6 * 36 * sin(3.2t - 4*(x/L)), head_t = quadraticCurve(-45, 0, -15, headSpan)

Renderer Logic

const waveAmp = Math.pow(normS, 1.6) * (36 * sharkScale);
const y = Math.sin(t * 3.2 - normS * 4) * waveAmp;
const bodyThickness = Math.sin(normS * Math.PI) * (34 * sharkScale);
