How to rotate a drum when use MFIX-Hybrid

Hi all,
MFIX-Hybrid model has been used to model fluidized bed. In order to use it for rotating drum modeling, the first problem is how to set rotating boundary condition for both TFM and DEM. Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You could rotate gravity, see Application of Horizontal Dynamic Load - #6 by wfullmer

Thank you, @onlyjus. I learned how to rotate gravity from a tutorial. But, this method is only for low rotational speed. I guess I can use it at the beginning stage. I have another question, is that possible to use mfix for modeling liquid-liquid-particle (for example, air-water-particle) problem?
