Abstract

Chaotic mixing of granular material in a two-dimensional slowly rotating noncircular container in the absence of granular diffusivity is studied analytically and numerically as a discrete mapping. The noncircularity of a drum produces a time periodic disturbance and chaotization of the flow field. The location of the fixed points of the mapping and the separatrices of the hyperbolic points are determined in a closed analytical form.
