Particle-particle heat transfer in thermal DEM

[wuhao1938]

Will the heat transfer, such as conduction and thermal radiation, be enabled in the the future version? Particle-particle conduction in TDEM is rather easy by adding a thermal contact resistance given in the well-known reference.

Yes, we are planning to add heat transfer to both DEM and CFD-DEM parts. This heat transfer will include particle-particle, particle-fluid and radiation heat transfer. Thanks for suggestion on articles. They are very good.
