Looks like you are talking about arpeggios. Here's an example of an Ebadd9( Eb G Bb F) Arpeggio ascending.

G Bb Eb F .... just keep repeating
1  2  3  4  <-- RH fingering

The key to mastering arpeggios is to play them slow at first and gradually increase the speed until you have reached your desired speed.
