Abstract Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) approach is used for the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. More specific as a special case we apply the MLPG6 approach. In the MLPG6 method, the test function is chosen to be the same as the trial function (Galerkin method). The MLPG local weak form is written over a local sub-domain which is completely independent from the trial or test functions. The sizes of nodal trial and test function domains, as well as the size of the local sub-domain over which the local weak-form is considered, can be arbitrary.… More >
