A meshless method for the solution of incompressible flow equations
Keywords:
diffuse approximation, meshless method, incompressible fluid flow, projection algorithmAbstract
This article reports on the efficiency of a co-located diffuse approximation method coupled with a projection algorithm for the solution of two and three-dimensional incompressible flow equations. Three typical examples show the accuracy of this meshless method.
