From 8110e4d6ec2db720d0f2900573dd3f2a50adee98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: elizabeth-suehr Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:14:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add packed bed thermal conductivity benchmark (bench_thermal_bed) Two-stage DEM benchmark: gravity settling creates a packed bed of 100 monodisperse spheres, then heat conducts through contacts between hot (400K) and cold (300K) walls until steady state. Includes validate.py (PASS/FAIL checks for linear profile, convergence, k_eff), plot.py (matplotlib figures), and README.md.
