A wave equation for a time-dependent perturbation about the steady shallow-water solution emulates the metric an acoustic white hole, even upon the incorporation of nonlinearity in the lowest order. A standing wave in the sub-critical…
In the geometry of the circular hydraulic jump, the velocity of the liquid in the interior region exceeds the speed of capillary-gravity waves (ripplons), whose spectrum is `relativistic' in the shallow water limit. The velocity flow is…
Surface waves in classical fluids experience a rich array of black/white hole horizon effects. The dispersion relation depends on the characteristics of the fluid as well as on the fluid depth and the wavelength regime. We focus on the…
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…
In the presence of viscosity the hydraulic jump in one dimension is seen to be a first-order transition. A scaling relation for the position of the jump has been determined by applying an averaging technique on the stationary hydrodynamic…
We provide an experimental demonstration that the circular hydraulic jump represents a hydrodynamic white hole or gravitational fountain (the time-reverse of a black hole) by measuring the angle of the Mach cone created by an object in the…
Surface waves in classical fluids experience a rich array of black/white hole horizon effects. The dispersion relation depends on the characteristics of the fluid (in our case, water and silicon oil) as well as on the fluid depth and the…
Recently, an unusual scaling law has been observed in circular hydraulic jumps and has been attributed to a supposed missing term in the local energy balance of the flow [\cite{bhagat_2018}]. In this paper, we show that - though the…
When a fluid jet strikes an inclined solid surface at normal incidence, gravity creates a flow pattern with a thick outer rim resembling a parabola and reminiscent of a hydraulic jump. There appears to be little theory or experiments…
When a falling jet of fluid strikes a horizontal fluid layer, a hydraulic jump arises downstream of the point of impact provided a critical flow rate is exceeded. We here examine a phenomenon that arises below this jump threshold, a…
We propose a phenomenological model for the polygonal hydraulic jumps discovered by Ellegaard et al., based on the known flow structure for the type II hydraulic jumps with a "roller" (separation eddy) near the free surface in the jump…
Rotation of non-circular hydraulic jumps is a recent experimental observation that lacks a theory based on first principles. Here we furnish a basic theory of this phenomenon founded on the shallow-water model of the circular hydraulic…
The condition of linear instability for a converging cylindrical strong shock wave (SW) in an arbitrary viscous medium is obtained in the limit of a large stationary SW radius, when it is possible to consider the same Rankine-Hugoniot jump…
Hydraulic jumps in thin films are traditionally explained through gravity-driven shallow-water theory, with surface tension assumed to play only a secondary role via Laplace pressure. Recent experiments, however, suggest that surface…
It was recently claimed by Bhagat et al. (J. Fluid Mech. vol. 851 (2018), R5) that the scientific literature on the circular hydraulic jump in a thin liquid film is flawed by improper treatment and severe underestimation of the influence of…
Hydraulic jumps are oftentimes encountered in natural and human-made environments. The transition from supercritical to subcritical flow involves large energy dissipation rates and substantial air entrainment, preventing the use of…
We report spontaneous oscillations of circular hydraulic jumps created by the impact of a submillimeter water jet on a solid disk. The jet flow rate is shown to condition the occurrence of the oscillations while their period is independent…
In this paper we examine the flow generated by coupled surface and internal small-amplitude water waves in a two-fluid layer model, where we take the upper layer to be rotational (constant vorticity) and the lower layer to be irrotational.…
Wilton ripples are a type of periodic traveling wave solution of the full water wave problem incorporating the effects of surface tension. They are characterized by a resonance phenomenon that alters the order at which the resonant harmonic…
Wrinkling instabilities of thin elastic sheets can be used to generate periodic structures over a wide range of length scales. Viscosity of the thin elastic sheet or its surrounding medium has been shown to be responsible for dynamic…
