Pore fluids having viscosity greater than water are sometimes used in geotechnical centrifuge model tests to more accurately satisfy the scaling laws relating to movement of pore fluid through the soil when modeling dynamic loading events. This is frequently done using either silicone oil or mixtures of water and glycerol. There are some drawbacks in using silicone oil and this paper describes an alternative solution of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in water that has recently come into use. The authors present test data showing the variation in solution viscosity with concentration and temperature and the variation in specific gravity with concentration. The relative performance of the fluid is illustrated with pore pressure dissipation data from two centrifuge model tests involving earthquake simulations. One test was done with pure water as the pore fluid and the other test was done with an HPMC solution having viscosity ten times that of water.
