Making a 2.5 meter high splash at the Matrix yard at Twente University
2 cubic meter of water is released instantaneously which creates a soliton wave: a single wave that keeps speed and shape along a channel. (and also a bore, this depends on depth of the water)
at the end the wave is compressed between the walls and it creates a splash.

Great experiment!
But, why the triangular endpoint? Why not simply have a flat endpoint?
(Unless this was just one of many experimental runs which you did,
and you are varying the shape of the end of the channel.)
