The invention discloses a centrifugal
model test device and method for simulating a
slurry retaining wall and a
confined water environment, and relates to the technical field of underground
engineering groove wall stability physical
simulation, and the centrifugal
model test device comprises a centrifugal
machine platform, a model box, a gas-liquid control module and a comprehensive monitoring module. A centrifugal
model test technology is adopted, liquid in a water tank is accurately regulated and controlled to be injected into a latex film or a sand layer of a model box through cooperation of a groove section plate and a gas-liquid control module, and the wall protection effect of
slurry with different specific gravities and the
confined water layer environment are simulated; a
pore water pressure sensor, a displacement meter and a particle image velocimetry (PIV)
system in the comprehensive monitoring module are used for collecting stress, displacement and deformation
field data of a soil sample around the tank wall in real time. According to the invention, the failure law and the
instability mechanism of the groove wall under the action of different mud performance parameters and
confined water pressure can be systematically disclosed, and a key theoretical basis and a
technical support are provided for design and construction of an underground diaphragm wall in actual
engineering.
