The paper analyzes the dynamic behavior during the preparation of cemented backfill slurry by combining the structural performance analysis of the double-shaft mixer and the Euler multiphase flow field computational fluid dynamics model. Considering the interaction between phases and gas phase disturbances, the transient kinetic parameters and the interaction between gas and liquid phases were introduced. According to the modified lift model, the user-defined function of the net lateral lift coefficient and the turbulence energy equation was adjusted. Taking the parameters of flow field velocity, gas phase mixing, uniformity, and turbulent energy dissipation as the evaluation indexes of the mixing effect, the double-shaft mixer at a rotation velocity of 45 rpm and with a blade installation angle of 25° is the optimal design in this study. Experimental tests were carried out and confirmed that the refined two-fluid model of interphase interaction can provide a basis for the performance evaluation of material mixing equipment.
