Variational model of granular flow in a three-dimensional rotating container

We considered a flow of a cohesionless granular material in a partially filled three-dimensional rotating container. A variational continuum mechanics model is suggested to describe the profile of the free surface of the granular material. A combination of a level set method and a variational form of energy conservation equation allows us to describe flow of granular material in arbitrary-shaped containers.
