But most of the references I have read use gazebo to simulate sonar, whereas I am working on Rviz
seeing most references only discussing Gazebo would make sense, as RViz is not a simulator.
You cannot really simulate anything in RViz, it's the Robot Vizualiser, which only visualises data streams going around in your ROS application. Without data, there is nothing to visualise.
For simulation, you'll want to use Gazebo, Webots, CoppeliaSim, etc.
