Received: 19 September 2011; in revised form: 30 September 2011 / Accepted: 13 October 2011 / Published: 11 November 2011 Abstract: The flow of a dry granular material composed of spherical particles along a rotating boundary has been studied by the discrete element method (DEM). This type of flow is used, among others, as a process to spread particles. The flow consists of several phases. A compression phase along the rotating wall is followed by an elongation of the flow along the same boundary. Eventually, the particles slide or roll independently along the boundary. We show that the main motion of the flow can be characterized by a complex deformation rate of traction/compression and shear. We define numerically an effective friction
