Description
Wave phenomena around spinning black holes can be simulated using rotating draining fluid flows. These are inherently leaky systems due to the presence of a central sink, through which fluid and waves escape. Over the past decade, these simulators have been used to study black hole ringdown and superradiance in the gravity laboratory at the University of Nottingham. In this talk, I will summarise these experiments and the subsequent theoretical investigations they sparked.
