Hydraulic jump used as a shallow-water analogue of shock instability recognized in stellar core collapse. Here, spiral mode activity results in a rotating triple point, seen in experiment (left) and reproduced in numerical simulation of 2D shallow-water equations (right). Selected for an Editors' Suggestion and a Viewpoint in Physics.
