Numerical simulation of particle dynamics in different flow regimes in a rotating drum

Flow regimes in a horizontal rotating drum are important to industrial applications but the underlying mechanisms are not clear. This paper investigated the granular flow dynamics in different regimes using the discrete element method. By varying the rotation speed and particle-wall sliding friction...
