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", "termination shock", etc., should provide some interesting stuff to look at.
