Mixing of granular systems is one of the most used chemical engineering unit operations. However, detailed description of the dynamics of granular flows through experiments is difficult. Therefore, usage of mathematical modeling increases. In this paper we deal with DEM (Discreet Element Method) simulations of mixing glass beads in a cylindrical vertical bladed mixer. The aim of this work is to describe the influence of blade rake on the development of granular secondary flows for different speeds of rotating agitator.
