Abstract

We report experimental measurements on mixing properties in bidimensional rotating drum. Using an image processing device, we follow the trajectories of tracer particles in a monodisperse assembly of beads. Tracer particles with different size ratios exhibit a violent segregation effect: a smaller particle has a tendency to stay in the centre and a larger one will rather dwell on the edges. Furthermore, for a tracer of identical size, we evidence a specific dispersion property where the centre and the edges are competing attractors of the mixing dynamics.
