http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-40827-9_3 Meshfree approximations are ideal for the gradient-type stabilized Petrov–Galerkin methods used for solving Eulerian conservation laws due to their ability to achieve arbitrary smoothness, however, the gradient terms are computationally demanding for meshfree methods. To address this issue, a stabilization technique that avoids high order differentiation of meshfree shape functions is introduced by employing implicit gradients under the reproducing kernel approximation framework. The modification to the standard approximation introduces virtually no additional computational cost, and its implementation is simple. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in several benchmark problems.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2015.11.002 Numerical modeling of reservoirs with low permeability or under undrained conditions often suffers from spurious fluid pressure oscillations due to the improper construction of approximation spaces. To address this issue, a fully coupled, stabilized meshfree formulation is developed based on a fluid pressure projection method, in which an additional stabilization term is added to the variational equation to correct the defi- ciency of the equal-order u –p reproducing kernel approximation. The projection scheme is formulated under the framework of the stabilized conforming nodal integration which enables a significant enhancement of the computational efficiency and accuracy, and the spurious low-energy modes of nodal integration are also eliminated. The effectiveness of the proposed stabilized meshfree formulation is demonstrated by solving several benchmark problems. |
