Particle-based and meshless methods with Aboria

Particle-based and Meshless Methods with Aboria

Aboria is a powerful and flexible C++ library for the implementation of particle-based numerical methods. The particles in such methods can represent actual particles (e.g. Molecular Dynamics) or abstract particles used to discretise a continuous function over a domain (e.g. Radial Basis Functions). Aboria provides a particle container, compatible with the Standard Template Library, spatial sea...

Kernel Based Meshless Methods

Meshless Methods Coupled with Other Numerical Methods

Meshless or mesh-free (or shorten as MFree) methods have been proposed and achieved remarkable progress over the past few years. The idea of combining MFree methods with other existing numerical techniques such as the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM), is naturally of great interest in many practical applications. However, the shape functions used in some MFree m...

RBF-based meshless boundary knot method and boundary particle method

This paper is concerned with the two new boundary-type radial basis function collocation schemes, boundary knot method (BKM) and boundary particle method (BPM). The BKM is developed based on the dual reciprocity theorem, while the BKM employs the multiple reciprocity technique. Unlike the method of fundamental solution, the two methods use the non-singular general solution instead of singular f...
