A rainfall simulation system is designed and used in centrifuge modelling of rainfall-induced landslides. The configuration of this system is described in terms of techniques special for centrifuge tests. These techniques allow the system to distribute raindrops uniformly and minimize the size effect of raindrops and the inclination of raindrops due to Coriolis effects. Hence this system is able to simulate rainfall with different intensities and durations. The function of the simulation system is verified during an infiltration process in a sand slope test in the centrifuge.
