In this thesis, immersed granular avalanches in a rotating drum are studied experimentally using particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). To observe internal motions, refractive index matched solid and liquid materials are used. A laser light sheet is then used to illuminate slices through the flow. Two-dimensional motions of both solid and liquid motions in the center plane are measured using a stationary laser light sheet. We then seek to measure the full three-dimensional positions and velocities of the solid grains by scanning the flow volume using a rotating light sheet. Fast scans are obtained using a special rotating mirror device, and calibrated in 3D using a trilinear coordinate transformation. The effect of varying the drum rotation rate is examined. Measurements in 2D and 3D are obtained for avalanches of 1500 spherical grains.
