simulation of rotating drum

UmHammody · August 27, 2019, 00:54

Hi everyone,

I'm simulating mixing of particles (with different size and density) in a rotating drum and I'm not sure about the proper way to simulate the rotation of my 2D domain. Is it by enabling the moving of the wall or using a moving mesh which way is simple to converge and giving a good result, since am doing multi phase and only monitoring the volume fraction and velocity of the particles.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Salma,
Have you found the solution for simulation? I am doing the same.
