The GUNT HM 162.44 Sill is used to reduce the flume slope, helping to decrease erosion processes at the flume bottom. Typically designed as a step downstream, sills are also found in fish ladders or as effects of bridge pier foundations. The sill reduces the flow cross-section, allowing study of open channel flow behavior in varying hydraulic conditions.
