Centrifuge modelling is a technique for reporducing a prototype scale structure with a physical scale models. PARI's centrifuge machine has a 312 g-tonne capacity, achieving a maximum centrifugal acceleration of 113g at 3.8 m radius. This machine has a shaking table, a wave flume and a high-speed camera. Large numbers of experiments have been carried out on the centrifuge over more than 40 years.
