A circular, convergingwater wave is created by rapidly retracting a gate separating a region of high water level from aregion with lower water level. Four cylindrical obstacles are placed in the path of the collapsingwave to test the stability of the imploding wave.Figure 1 shows a sample snapshot of this implosion process just before the wave breaks at thecenter, visualized from the bottom of the water table. For a better quality of representation, the rawimage is enhanced by the I
