A Multi-frame Analysis of Flow Reversal in Tidal Bore

Assia Belemkadem, Johan Fourdrinoy, Anthony Beaudoin +1

A tidal bore is a nonlinear step like surge propagating on the top of a river counter-current. The scientific literature reports that the passage of the tidal front may induce loca…

On the art of designing effective space-times with free surface flows in Analogue Gravity

Alexis Bossard, Nicolas James, Valentin Jules +3

Accelerating/decelerating trans-critical flows (waterfalls/cataracts) are analogous to space-times of black holes/white fountains since the pioneering work of Sch{ü}tzhold \& U…

How to create analogue black hole or white fountain horizons and LASER cavities in experimental free surface hydrodynamics?

Alexis Bossard, Nicolas James, Camille Aucouturier +3

Transcritical flows in free surface hydrodynamics emulate black hole horizons and their timereversed versions known as white fountains. Both analogue horizons have been shown to em…

Correlations on weakly time-dependent transcritical white-hole flows

Johan Fourdrinoy, Scott Robertson, Nicolas James +2

We report on observations made on a run of transcritical flows over an obstacle in a narrow channel. Downstream from the obstacle, the flows decelerate from supercritical to subcri…

The naval battle of Actium and the myth of the ship-holder: the effect of bathymetry

Johan Fourdrinoy, Clément Caplier, Yann Devaux +8

A myth of antiquity is explained with modern science in the context of an ancient naval battle. A legend was invoked by the admiral Pliny the Elder to explain the defeat of Antony…
