Liquid flows induced in a rotating drum with different fill ratios by Daeun Lee, Jaebeen Lee, Seok Min Choi, Sangtak Lee, Hyungmin Park

“…Compared to the condition of a fill ratio of 1.0, in which the liquid inside the drum rotates forming a large-scale (solid-body rotation) organized flow structure, a substantial asymmetric flow structure shows up in partially-filled conditions driven by the imbalance between (i) the momentum diffusion along the radial direction and the centrifugal acceleration, and (ii) the downward (gravitational) flux of the induced flow. …”
