Mixing and separation of rotating drums

Hi Xutong - that’s a nice image.

I don’t believe that MFiX has any built-in computation of “mixing index”.
A Google search for “mfix” and “mixing index” turns up a few interesting papers where people have implented the (Lacey) mixing index within the DEM framework.

There are also some other MFiX users on the forum studying mixing index:

Hope this helps,
