Abstract This paper presents a meshless method based on the meshless local integral equation (LIE) method for solving the two-dimensional diffusion and diffusion-convection equations subject to a non-local condition. Suitable finite difference scheme is used to eliminate the time dependence of the problem. A weak formulation on local subdomains with employing the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation as test function transforms the resultant elliptic type equations into local integral equations. Then, the Moving Least Squares (MLS) approximation is employed for discretizing spatial variables. Two illustrative examples with exact solutions being used as benchmark solutions are More >
