Abstract-
We report striking new structures revealed through exploratory
experimental investigations of free surface flows, and outline
accompanying theoretical developments. Particular attention is
given to polygonal hydraulic jumps, the polygonal fluid sheets
generated with a water bell source geometry, and to the fluid
chains and fishbones generated by the collision of two laminar
jets. The hydrodynamic propulsion of water striders is touched
upon.
