Stopplaschen

Stopplaschen, also known as "stopping splashing," is a phenomenon observed in swimming pools and other bodies of water where a sudden, violent splash occurs when a swimmer stops moving. This effect is often seen in competitive swimming, where swimmers may stop abruptly to change direction or to rest. The splash is caused by the sudden deceleration of the swimmer's body, which creates a wave of water that propagates outward from the point of deceleration. The intensity of the splash can vary depending on factors such as the swimmer's speed, the depth of the water, and the surface tension of the water. Stopplaschen is a well-known and often studied phenomenon in the fields of fluid dynamics and biomechanics.
