## Abstract This paper presents a numerical study of the flow and segregation of particles over flat blades in a vertical cylindrical mixer by means of a modified discrete element method. Simulations are conducted using a binary mixture of spheres, where the blade's rotating speed, particle size, v

## Abstract Laminar flow and mixing of a Newtonian fluid are characterized in a fourβelement KochβGlitsch SMX static mixer. The computational analysis on a fine, unstructured mesh containing more than 3.5 million tetrahedral elements led to highβresolution numerical data for velocity and pressure.
## Abstract The flow and mixing in a 3D geometrically accurate representation of a twin sigma blade mixer is simulated using the finite element method (FEM) combined with the mesh superimposition technique as implemented by Polyflow (Fluent, Inc.) to calculate the velocity, velocity gradients, shea
