Difference between fix mesh/surface and fix move/mesh

Submitted by antoniosereno on Thu, 11/07/2019 - 09:34

Hi everyone!
I am working on a simulation that involves a rotating drum and I've been investigating between the different output I get when I set its rotation using the two commands I mentioned.
In particular, I am interested in the total force acting on the particles, therefore I used in both cases the mesh/surface/stress fix-style and I noticed that it leads to different results in both forces and trajectories of the particles.

Does anyone idea of why this happen? Which command should I use then to represent more accurately the physical phenomenom?
Thanks in advance to anyone who will give me some hint
