Rotating-drum flows span a variety of research areas, ranging from physics of granular
matter through hydrodynamics of suspensions to pure liquid coating flows. Recent years …

The present paper describes an experimental and numerical study conducted to investigate
the particle movement inside an unbaffled rotary drum under different operating conditions …

Granular flow in a rotating tumbler is of theoretical and industrial significance. However, in
spite of its relative simplicity, little is known about the dynamics of the top flowing layer. Here …

An experimental study of the flow of different materials (steel balls, glass beads, and sand) in
quasi-two-dimensional rotating cylinders is carried out using flow visualization. The flow in …

The industrial-scale rotating drums are usually operated in the rolling or slumping mode. For
the rolling mode, the granular material bed can be divided into two regions, namely, a …

Considerable amount of experimental work has been performed to elucidate the behavior of
granular flow inside a rotating drum and it has yet to be clearly understood. However, a …

Producing energy and higher value bio-products from waste wood recycled from
construction and demolition (C&D) debris has been proposed as an economically viable …

Granular materials exhibit several regimes of behavior: plastic, inertial, fluidized, and
entrained flow, but not all materials can pass through all of these states. Our concern is with …

Longitudinal and transverse mixing in horizontal rotary kilns has been studied, using a three-
dimensional Discrete Element Method approach. The focus is on the effect of the main …

To investigate the particle motion in the flighted rotating drum (FRD), a laboratory drum with
four rectangular flights is horizontally arranged and filled with plastic particles in this work …
