“…Enhanced gravity testing also has the potential for increased utilization in scientific disciplines other than geotechnical and hazards engineering, as evidenced by various applications described in the literature. Centrifuge modeling has been used to study a range of geoenvironmental problems, from contaminant transport (Culligan-Hensley and Savvidou, 1995) to site remediation strategies (Marulanda et al, 2000); a number of geologic processes, including intrusions (Dixon and Simpson, 1987), faulting (Koyi and Skelton, 2001), and ice mechanics (Langhorne et al, 1999;Guerin et al, 2016); a number of manufacturing processes, including welding (Aidun and Martin, 1998), casting (Fukui, 1991;Zhang et al, 2018), and powders (Thomas and Beaudoin, 2015); and processes related to gasses and fires (Most et al, 1996). The "Spin your thesis" program by the European Space Agency 3 encourages a wide breadth of potential applications by enabling student researchers to perform research on self-selected topics, with many related to fluids and biological processes, on a centrifuge with centrifugal accelerations up to 20 g.…”

The 9-m and 1-m radius geotechnical centrifuges at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) facility at the University of California at Davis provide the national research community with open access to unique and versatile modeling capabilities for advancing methods to predict and improve the performance of soil and soil-structure systems affected by earthquake, wave, wind, and storm surge loadings. Large-scale centrifuge models are particularly effective for the building of basic science knowledge, the validation of advanced computational models from the component to the holistic system level, and the validation of innovative soil remediation strategies. The capabilities and unique role of large-scale centrifuge modeling are illustrated using three example research projects from the shared-use NHERI facility. Education impacts stemming from operations activities and coordination of activities by the center's user base are discussed. Future directions and opportunities for research using the NHERI facilities are discussed.
