Abstract: | This paper examines the numerical solution of the transient nonlinear coupled Burgers’ equations by a Local Radial Basis Functions Collocation Method (LRBFCM) for large values of Reynolds number (Re) up to 103. The LRBFCM belongs to a class of truly meshless methods which do not need any underlying mesh but works on a set of uniform or random nodes without any a priori node to node connectivity. The time discretization is performed in an explicit way and collocation with the multiquadric radial basis functions (RBFs) are used to interpolate diffusion-convection variable and its spatial derivatives on decomposed domains. Five nodded domains of influence are used in the local support. Adaptive upwind technique 1] and 54] is used for stabilization of the method for large Re in the case of mixed boundary conditions. Accuracy of the method is assessed as a function of time and space discretizations. The method is tested on two benchmark problems having Dirichlet and mixed boundary conditions. The numerical solution obtained from the LRBFCM for different value of Re is compared with analytical solution as well as other numerical methods 15], 47] and 49]. It is shown that the proposed method is efficient, accurate and stable for flow with reasonably high Reynolds numbers. |
