Comparison of Selected Meshless Methods for Analysis of Steady, Fully-Developed, Laminar Flow of an Incompressible Newtonian Fluid in Internally Finned Tubes

摘要

Fluid flow in internally finned tubes is a very important problem from a practical point of view. In the literature there are many different numerical methods which were used for analysis this problem. However meshless methods are not so common in the literature on analysis of fluid flow in internally finned tubes. The main advantages of these methods are: easy implementation, semianalytical form of the approximate solution and no need for mesh generation. In the paper these meshless methods are compared in application for analysis of incompressible, fully-developed, Newtonian fluid flow in an internally finned tube.
