Tóm tắt

Several numerical meshless methods have been proposed to try to solve some of the limitations of traditional mesh-based methods. Among those, the finite pointset method, which has been applied in several physical problems, shows a great potential. This work presents an extension of the available numerical approaches based on the finite pointset method to allow dealing with generalized Newtonian fluids, which possess a high viscosity. The developed finite pointset method solver is verified through the comparison of its predictions with analytical solutions, for simple flows, and with results provided by the well-established and validated open-source computational library OpenFOAM, for more complex cases studies. The excellent results obtained on the verification case studies prove the proper implementation of the new finite pointset method solver.
