中国力学学会学术大会2005 ( CCTAM2005 ) Adaptive Local RBF-DQ Method and Its Application to Solve Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations C. Shu (Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore, 10 Kent Ridge Crescent, Singapore 117576) Local radial basis function-based differential quadrature (RBF-DQ) method was recently proposed by us. The method is a natural mesh-free approach. Like the conventional differential quadrature (DQ) method, it discretizes any derivative at a knot by a weighted linear sum of functional values at its neighboring knots, which may be distributed randomly. Different from the conventional DQ method, the weighting coefficients in local RBF-DQ method are determined by taking the radial basis functions (RBFs) instead of high order polynomials as the test functions. The method works in a similar fashion as conventional finite difference schemes. It is found that the local RBF-DQ method with 8 supporting points has more than the 2nd order of accuracy for a non-uniform mesh system. On the other hand, for a flow problem, the boundary layer is usually attached to the solid surface, which needs very fine mesh to capture the physics. In the region far away from the boundary, a relatively coarse mesh can be used. To save the computational effort and virtual memory, the ideal way is to refine the mesh during the solution process. In this presentation, we will present our attempt in combining the adaptive stencil refinement technique with the local RBF-DQ method. Numerical experiments show that the flow on complex geometry can be efficiently and accurately simulated by adaptive local RBF-DQ method.
