Abstract In this paper, one-dimensional integrated radial-basis-function networks (1D-IRBFNs) are introduced into the Galerkin and point-collocation formulations to simulate viscoelastic flows. The computational domain is represented by a Cartesian grid and IRBFNs, which are constructed through integration, are employed on each grid line to approximate the field variables including stresses in the streamfunction-vorticity formulation. Two types of fluid, namely Oldroyd-B and CEF models, are considered. The proposed methods are validated through the numerical simulation of several benchmark test problems including flows in a rectangular duct and in a corrugated tube. Numerical results show that accurate results are obtained using relatively-coarse grids. More >
