The conventional numerical methods such as Finite Difference Method and Finite Element Method are based on the construction of mesh/grid. However, the processes of meshing and re-meshing can be cumbersome and, at times, computationally inefficient; these challenges are effectively addressed by meshless methods. In the meshless method, each node does not need to have a connection with its adjacent nodes. Various meshless methods have been developed in the past. Based on the formulation of the technique, the meshless methods can be broadly classified into strong form, weak form, and a combination of strong and weak form. The study of flow and transport in porous media is a critical issue with widespread applications across numerous fields, including hydrogeology, groundwater management, chemical engineering, and various branches of mechanical and metallurgical engineering. In recent years, meshless methods have gained widespread adoption in various fields, particularly for addressing complex challenges such as the simulation of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. These methods offer significant advantages in modeling problems where traditional mesh-based approaches may be less effective or efficient.
The primary aim and scope of the proposed special issue, "Meshless Methods and Their Applications in Porous Media Problems," is to curate a comprehensive collection of the latest research advancements in meshless methods, with a particular focus on their applications to porous media challenges. The proposed collection of recent research articles will illuminate current trends and offer insights into future perspectives in the field.
