Abstract: Because of the superiority in energy scale and modeling prototype stress, soil geotechnical centrifuge have unique advantage in the blasting modeling. Based on the progress for soil geotechnical centrifuge, some aspects in blasting centrifuge modeling such as modeling box, explosion source, centrifuge modeling scale, data collecting and Coriolis effects are concluded, also the known research domain. The development tendency in blasting centrifuge modeling is presented, for example, the measure such as anti-wind should be considered in designing model box, a more accurate method should be adopted to verify the energy scale; micro-explosive source should be more stable and in good quality

Key words: centrifuge blasting modeling, model box, explosion source, centrifuge modeling scale, Coriolis acceleration
