In a shallow-water radial outflow the horizon of a hydrodynamic white hole coincides with a standing circular hydraulic jump. The jump, caused by viscosity, makes the horizon visible as a circular front, standing as a barrier against the…
It is demonstrated that gravity waves of a flowing fluid in a shallow basin can be used to simulate phenomena around black holes in the laboratory. Since the speed of the gravity waves as well as their high-wavenumber dispersion (subluminal…
