DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Everyone is familiar with the standard hydraulic jum
 p\nobserved when a jet hits a horizontal surface in the presence of\ngravi
 ty.  However\, surprisingly little is known about the shape of the\nhydrau
 lic jump when a jet hits an inclined plane.  We discuss a simple\ntheory t
 hat predicts the rise height of such a jump.  In the second\npart of the t
 alk\, we discuss the impact of a jet on a surface with\nbumps\, and observ
 e some surprising connections with Einstein's theory\nof general relativit
 y.  This is joint work with Andrew Belmonte\,\nKhalid Kamhawi\, and Jay Jo
 hnson.
