KITCHEN EXPERIMENTS: Play with the faucet water jet, as it impinges on a dish. Notice the hydraulic jump that forms, and see how it changes as you vary the jet velocity, flux, and dish depth (horizontal dish). Try changing the inclination of the dish. | |||
Interesting stuff in the web. Take a look at the following sites; look for others. Searches for "tidal bores", "hydraulic jumps", "flash floods", "flood waves", "mascaret wave", "gallactic jet shocks", etc., should provide some interesting stuff to look at.
