TIME SCALING FOR DIFFUSION IN DYNAMIC MODELING
In the study of the liquefaction problem during earthquake , it is necessary to ensure that the time scaling factor for motion is the same as that for the fluid flow.
A centrifuge model tested at N g using a soil saturated with METHOCEL solution of N times the water viscosity, would have a time scale factor for fluid flow of 1:N.
METHOCEL cellulose ether is a water-soluble polymer in powder form.
