In the complex granular flow, the shear and flow of particles lead to increase in temperature that can enchain behavioral modifications. However, their thermo-mechanical and electrical behavior is of great interest for applications such as rail transport, grinding, and granular material reproduction systems. To study these behaviors, a numerical experiment is carried out on a rotating drum model. This device makes it possible to generate continuous and controlled free surface flows. Relying on the NSCD approach, the location of the hottest zone and the evolution of the temperature are correlated with the evolution of the velocity field.
