Development of a new meshless technique is described that presents certain advantages over conventional meshless schemes due to unique weights that force alignment of the derivative approximation. The method is completelymeshless, yet retains the low storage and simple fluxdistribution technique that are characteristic of finite volumemethods. The newmethod is based on thewell-knownTaylor serie...

The root of this study, comes from the lack of regularity where exists in shape function selection in direct meshless methods. In this work, we are going to establish a technique which is based on both analytical and simulated results; helps select a well-behaved shape function for which the shape parameters have been predetermined. This work has been focused on wave equation as the most import...

─ Although many numerical methods have been developed to calculate photonic bandgap structure properties, but always improvement in numerical methods is necessary to have more efficient, accurate and flexible techniques. In the present work, novel periodic meshless shape functions including so-called direct and radial shape functions are presented. The meshless approaches, based on these period...

In this paper, we explore the effect of numerical integration on the meshless method used to approximate the solution of an elliptic partial differential equation with non-constant coefficients with Neumann boundary conditions. We considered meshless methods with shape functions that reproduce polynomials of degree k ≥ 1. We have obtained an estimate for the energy norm of the error in the appr...

In this paper, a meshless method for solving the eigenproblems of plate vibration using the radial basis function (RBF) is proposed. By employing the RBF in the imaginary-part fundamental solution, spurious eigenequations in conjunction with the true ones are obtained at the same time. Mathematical analysis for the appearance of spurious eigenequations by using degenerate kernel and circulant i...

Many numerical and analytical schemes exist for solving heat transfer problems. The meshless method is a particularly attractive method that is receiving attention in the engineering and scientific modeling communities. The meshless method is simple, accurate, and requires no polygonalisation. In this study, we focus on the application of meshless methods using radial basis functions (RBFs) – w...

In this paper, the two-dimensional Stokes problem is analyzed by the modified collocation Trefftz method (MCTM) and the Laplacian decomposition. The coupled Stokes equations are converted to three Laplace equations by utilizing the Laplacian decomposition and then the boundary-type meshless MCTM is adopted to solve the resultant Laplace equations. The MCTM, free from mesh and numerical quadratu...

An accurate and yet simple Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) formulation for analyzing beam problems is presented. In the formulation, simple weight functions are chosen as test functions. The use of these functions shows that the weak form can be integrated with conventional Gaussian integration. The MLPG method was evaluated by applying the formulation to a variety of patch test and thin ...

The aim of the present paper is the development of an efficient numerical algorithm for the solution of magnetohydrodynamics flow problems for regular and irregular geometries subject to Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. Toward this, the meshless point collocation method (MPCM) is used for MHD flow problems in channels with fully insulating or partially insulating and partially ...
