The simulation shows a ball mill's section where a mix of steel balls (grey spherical particles) and rocks (brown non-spherical particles) is processed. The wear of the internal surface (plates and lifters) is calculated based on the Finnie's model and the eroded volume is used to dynamically deform the geometry.
