HM 162.44 Sill Laboratory Equipment School Equipment Teaching Bed Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment Description
Sills are used to reduce the flume slope to decrease erosion processes at the flume bottom. Usually, they are designed as a step downstream. Fish ladders are often made of small sills. Bridge pier foundations may have the same effects as a sill.
Sills cause a reduction of the flow cross-section.
The behaviour of open channel flow at a reduction of the flow cross-section can be observed using the sill HM 162.44.
