This study investigated how to model a centre-offset annular rotary drum using OpenFOAM and the meshing software GMSH. The diameter of the outer cylinder Do is 600 mm, diameter of the inner cylinder Di 200 mm, the centre-offset α = 150 mm, and rotation rate n = 60 rpm. When the centre-offset is zero...
