I would like to know if ANSYS Rocky with DEM-CFD coupling allows for in-domain conjugate heat transfer.

[Rob]

Rocky will handle the particle-particle & particle-wall heat transfer. With full coupling to CFD the Fluent software will handle fluid-particle and fluid-wall heat transfer. 

[Rohit Kanchi]

What about conjugate heat transfer? Heat transfer inside a solid?

[Rohit Kanchi]

By solid I mean a full body such as cylindrical pin completely solid inside the bed surrounded by fluid and granular solids, can ansys then do the heat transfer within that solid domain?

[Rob]

Yes, and there are both tutorials & examples in Learning covering this.
