Abstract Recently, the MLPG (Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Method) method has been successfully extended to simulating nonlinear water waves [Ma, (2005)]. In that paper, the author employed the Heaviside step function as the test function to formulate the weak form over local sub-domains, acquiring an expression in terms of pressure gradient. In this paper, the solution for Rankine sources is taken as the test function and the local weak form is expressed in term of pressure rather than pressure gradient. Apart from not including pressure gradient, velocity gradient is also eliminated from the weak form. In addition, a semi-analytical technique is developed… More >
