Abstract The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method with unity as the weighting function has been applied to the solution of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the stream function and vorticity formulation together with the energy equation are solved for different test cases. This present study considers the implementation of the method on a non-isothermal lid-driven cavity flow, the lid-driven cavity flow with an inlet and outlet, and also on the non-isothermal flow over an obstacle. Nonuniform point distribution is employed for all the test cases for the numerical simulations. The More >
