18. A tumbling ball mill is a tubular vessel which is kept rotating around its own axis. The grinding medium, here balls, is elevated by the vessel wall and then rolls, slides, or falls toward the lowest point of the vessel. The feed material is trapped between the media particles and, thus, ground by their movement. In case the grinding media is the feed material itself one speaks of autogeneous grinding. Even though the autogeneous comminution in a tumbling mill is considered throughout this paper we, nevertheless, will use the simple term ball mill.

45. The term pressure distribution does not relate to the spatially averaged force vector field, but to the absolute value of forces acting between particles. Strictly speaking, this quantity has the unit of a force, however, to avoid confusion with the averaged force vector field we adopt the term pressure from engineering literature.
