Numerical solution of transient heat conduction problems using improved meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (Q2016360)

A new formulation of the improved meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method is successfully applied to transient heat conduction problems. This approach is in the use of moving Kriging interpolation as the trail function, therefore, the essential boundary conditions can be enforced as the finite element method, and the Heaviside step function as the test function of the local weighted residual method. Some test problems are presented.
