Abstract Meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is successfully applied for electromagnetic field computations. The moving least square technique is used to interpolate the trial and test functions. More attention is paid to imposing the essential boundary conditions of electromagnetic equations. A new coupled meshless local Petrov-Galerkin and finite element (MLPG-FE) method is presented to enforce the essential boundary conditions. Unlike the conventional coupled technique, this approach can ensure the smooth blending of the potential variables as well as their derivatives in the transition region between the meshless and finite element domains. Then the boundary singular weight method is proposed to enforce… More >
