Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) measurements are used to track the flow of d=5mm glass beads within a rotating drum fitted with (and without) lifter bars and operated in the cascading and cataracting Froude regimes. After converting the Lagrangian trajectories of a representative radio-labeled glass bead (the tracer) into Eulerian fields under the ergodic assumption, the bed shape and kinematics are extracted for steady, fully developed flow conditions. Notwithstanding the azimuthal wall effects introduced by the lifter bars, we show a linear scaling vh of the local flowing layer thickness (h) with local depth-averaged velocity v and a constant average shear direct measurements spanning the entire flowing layer (not just the central region), and high Froude regimes (cascading and cataracting) not previously investigated by scaling analysis in the literature.
