Actually I have no idea how this stuff works. It just does. I might have a
slight clue about the basic algorithm as it is explained on Hugo Elias'
page, but why it forms nearly circular ripples, why it reflects so nicely
off the walls and all that I don't know. Seems like magic to me... ;)

I'm not sure what sinus water by Christoph Hormann you're referring to.
Maybe you mean the sinus waves by Chris Howie? Anyway, mixing several
completely different techniques together is not as easy as it might sound.

Who knows? Any test animations you'd like to see?
