The topology of the incompressible steady three-dimensional flow in a partially filled cylindrical rotating drum, infinitely extended along its axis, is investigated numerically for a ratio of pool depth to radius of 0.2. In the limit of vanishing Froude and capillary numbers, the liquid–gas interface remains flat and the two-dimensional flow becomes unstable to steady three-dimensional convection cells. The Lagrangian transport in the cellular flow is organised by periodic spiralling-in and spiralling-out saddle foci, and by saddle limit cycles. Chaotic advection is caused by a breakup of a degenerate heteroclinic connection between the two saddle foci when the flow becomes three-dimensional. On increasing the Reynolds number, chaotic streamlines invade the cells from the cell boundary and from the interior along the broken heteroclinic connection. This trend is made evident by computing the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser tori for five supercritical Reynolds numbers.
