Abstract: This paper gives results of an experimental study of incident and reflected waves of the bore type in the neighborhood of a sharp change in the channel bed level. It is shown that under conditions typical of accidents at ship locks, the wave height can reach 8 m.

Keywords: liquid, free surface, breaking wave, experiment.
