On the art of designing effective space-times with free surface flows in Analogue Gravity by Bossard, Alexis, James, Nicolas, Jules, Valentin, Fourdrinoy, Johan, Robertson, Scott, Rousseaux, Germain

“…When the former reaches one, water waves are no more able to propagate upstream: the hydraulic black hole is a river of no return for them. At a higher level of understanding, two global dimensionless numbers, the upstream Froude number Frup and the obstruction ratio rup (the height of a bottom obstacle, the underlying geometry inducing the effective space-time, divided by the upstream water depth) are essential to distinguish subcritical, trans-critical and supercritical zones in the - Frup versus rup - hydraulic and non-dispersive diagram. …”
