Abstract
We have measured the power spectra of surface waves generated by an unstable circular hydraulic jump. If the waves are scattered, the spectra show interference patterns which, using semiclassical approximations, have a simple interpretation as interfering geometric orbits. We also measure the jump radius as a function of various parameters, and find reasonable agreement with theory.Keywords
