Abstract The local multiquadric-based differential quadrature (MQ-DQ) method proposed by [Shu, Ding, and Yeo (2003)] is a natural mesh-free approach for derivative approximation, which is easy to be implemented to solve problems with curved boundary. Previously, it has been well tested for the two-dimensional (2D) case. In this work, this mesh-free method was extended to simulate fluid flow problems with curved boundary in three-dimensional (3D) space. The main concern of this work is to numerically study the performance of the 3D local MQ-DQ method and demonstrate its capability and flexibility for simulation of 3D incompressible fluid More >
