Periodic Boundary Condition for Cylindrical Geometries Possible?

Hi all,

i have a cylindrical shear cell geometry. In order to lower the computational cost i want to use periodic boundaries. I know that i can not unfortunately use "pie slices" (sorry if thats not the correct term) only boxes. The geometry has the be able to rotate also to simulate shearing.
Is there a way to simulate half of the shear cell with a cartesic periodic boundary approach? How can set this up? Are there any other possibilities to reduce computational time i can think of?

Thanks a lot this forums helps tremendously.
Kind regards
