This experiment simulates water current by using a garden hose for the water source and an uneven tarp as the terrain. This image specifically shows the hose water going over a ridge in the tarp, about to crash down on itself like a wave. The primary flow phenomena to be investigated include water current and waves.

The visibility of the effects of surface tension working with the large number of bubbles really creates a fascinating visual.
Hi Grace, I think it is really interesting how the bubbles in the water almost look trapped under the surface tension of the water. Like Dr. Boles mentioned in the critique, this is reminiscent of a water droplet hitting water, which I looked into for my Get Wet report, the Weber number kept coming up in my research on that, so may be helpful for your report here.
Cool flow setup Grace! I think that all the bubbles in the flow add an interesting texture. How did you choose your camera settings, more specifically your aperture?
