The gas−solid flow of mixed seeds of oat and vetch in the air-blowing venturi tube was simulated numerically by means of a coupling approach of the discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the gas−solid coupling model, EDEM software was used to depict the discrete particle phase, and ANSYS Fluent software was used to describe the continuous gas phase. The effects of the seed entry angle and inlet air velocity on the uniformity of mixed seed supply were studied and analyzed from the angle of airflow field variation and mixed seeds movement characteristics. The simulation results showed that the seeding angle has a great influence on the seed movement in the tube and affects the pressure and velocity gradient of the airflow field. If the seed insertion angle is too large, the number of collisions between the seed and the tube wall will increase, and the phenomenon of seeds retention and disordered jumping will occur. The inlet air velocity mainly affects the outlet air velocity and seed velocity and has little effect on the change in airfield. With the increase in inlet air velocity, the greater the velocity and force of the seeds, the closer the mixed seeds collide with the wall to the outlet pipe. At high inlet airflow velocity, there is a great disparity in the movement speed between the seeds, resulting in uneven spacing between the seeds. The results showed that under the conditions of 60° seed entry angle and 35~40 m/s inlet air velocity, the airflow field distribution in the tube was uniform and the seed movement was continuous and uniform.
