Abstract This paper presents a new control-volume discretisation method, based on Cartesian grids and integrated-radial-basis-function elements (IRBFEs), for the solution of second-order elliptic problems in one and two dimensions. The governing equation is discretised by means of the control-volume formulation and the division of the problem domain into non-overlapping control volumes is based on a Cartesian grid. Salient features of the present method include (i) an element is defined by two adjacent nodes on a grid line, (ii) the IRBF approximations on each element are constructed using only two RBF centres (a smallest RBF set) associated… More >
