Résumé
In this article, we investigate the behaviour of a cohesive granular material in a rotating drum. We use a model material with tuneable cohesion and vary the dimension of the drum in the radial and axial directions. The results show that the geometry of the drum may play a crucial role in the material dynamics, leading to significant changes in the surface morphology and flow regime. We attribute this behaviour to the fact that an increase in cohesion causes the grains to feel the sidewalls at a greater distance. Finally, we rationalize the results by introducing two dimensionless characteristic lengths, defined as the ratio of the drum dimensions to a cohesive length, which allow for the interpretation of the variation in the surface morphology and of the different flow regimes observed experimentally.
