Two-level meshless local Petrov Galerkin method for multi-dimensional nonlinear convection-diffusion equation based on radial basis function

摘要

In this article, a two-level meshless local Petrov Galerkin method (MLPG) is proposed to analyze nonlinear convection-diffusion equation based on the radial basis function (RBF) collocation method. Two-level method is employed to save the computation time, solving one small linearized convection-diffusion equation in a coarse nodal distribution by Newton iterative scheme and then processing one linear equation on a fine nodal distribution. The convergence analysis for the MLPG method and the two-level method is proven by applying the RBF interpolation method. Finally, the numerical examples provide a sufficient support and show that the proposed method is efficient for solving nonlinear convection-diffusion equation.
