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 …

The knowledge of the granular segregation phenomenon induced by size or density
differences in the ubiquitous polydisperse systems is important, hence numerous studies …

The behavior of granular flows inside rotating drums is an ongoing area of research. Only a
few studies have investigated non‐spherical particles despite the fact that particle shape is …

Rotary drums, installed with longitudinal flights are often used to dry/cool granular materials
in large quantities. Performance of such drums greatly depends on the uniform distribution of …

Particles with different properties such as size and shape in rotating drums tend to segregate
axially to different sections. In this work, we report an interesting phenomenon that for …

The mechanisms of segregation in solids mixing, even in simple rotating drums, are not
clearly understood. Although most past studies have focused on binary mixtures, this work …

The granular flow involving ellipsoidal particles in a horizontal rotating drum is investigated
by DEM, in which ellipsoidal particle is modeled by super-ellipsoids and periodic boundary …

Scaling relations for the velocity profile and circulation time, which can be used in design
and scale-up, are of great importance in rotating drums. We conducted simulations by …

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 …

Axial mixing of wet particles in rotating drums was investigated by the discrete element
method with the capillary force explicitly considered. Different flow regimes were observed …
