This paper emphasizes on the computer simulations of the granular materials via Discrete Element Method (DEM) by using open-source software LIGGGHTS. The examined process was mixing of two granular materials distinct by colour. The different initial conditions have led to finding the best way of homogenization, but it also shows the new perspective of noticing the process as a system of inseparable processes linked to each other.
