On impingement of a liquid jet normally on to a surface, the liquid spreads radially in a thin film until a point where the film thickness changes abruptly. This abrupt change in liquid film thickness is called a circular hydraulic jump. So far, It was believed that the thin film hydraulic jumps are created due to gravity (related to the Froude number). However, a recent scientific article published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics disapproved this more than century-old belief. The authors experimentally and theoretically showed that kitchen sink hydraulic jumps are created due to surface tension and not due to gravity. To rule out the role of gravity in the formation of a circular hydraulic jump, authors performed experiments on horizontal, vertical and on an inclined surface and showed that irrespective of the orientation of the substrate, for same flow rate and physical properties of the liquid, the initial hydraulic jump happens at the same location. They theoretically explained the phenomenon and
