The transmission properties of liquid surface waves through a biconvex array of rigid cylinders, arranged in a two-dimensional periodic lattice, are studied experimentally and numerically. Both experimental and numerical results show that this biconvex array of rigid cylinders can act as a lens, which can focus plane liquid surface waves in a wide range of frequencies.
