# Simulating a small rotating drum {#rotatingDrumSmall} ## Problem definition (v-1.0)
## Problem definition
The problem is to simulate a rotating drum with the diameter 0.24 m and the length 0.1 m rotating at 11.6 rpm. It is filled with 30,000 4-mm spherical particles. The timestep for integration is 0.00001 s. The problem is to simulate a rotating drum with the diameter 0.24 m and the length 0.1 m rotating at 11.6 rpm.

Two dictionaries, `positionParticles` and `setFields` position particles and set the field values for the particles.
In dictionary `positionParticles`, the positioning `method` is `positionOrdered`, which position particles in order in the space defined by `box`. `box` space is defined by two corner points `min` and `max`. In dictionary `positionOrderedInfo`, `numPoints` defines number of particles; `diameter`, the distance between two adjacent particles, and `axisOrder` defines the axis order for filling the space by particles.

### Creating geometry ### Creating geometry
In file `settings/geometryDict` , you can provide information for creating geometry. Each simulation should have a `motionModel` that defines a model for moving the surfaces in the simulation. `rotatingAxisMotion` model defines a fixed axis which rotates around itself. The dictionary `rotAxis` defines an motion component with `p1` and `p2` as the end points of the axis and `omega` as the rotation speed in rad/s. You can define more than one motion component in a simulation. In file `settings/geometryDict` , you can provide information for creating geometry.
