A stable and efficient infinite meshfree approach for solving half-space eat conduction problems

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative dynamic infinite meshfree method for robust and efficient solutions to half-space problems. This approach seamlessly couples this method with the nodal integral reproducing kernel particle method to discretize half-spaces defined by an artificial boundary. The infinite meshfree shape function is uniquely constructed using the 1D reproducing kernel shape function combined with the boundary singular kernel method, ensuring the Kronecker delta property on artificial boundaries. Coupled with the wave-transfer function, the proposed approach models dissipation actions effectively. The infinite domain simulation employs the dummy node method, enhanced by Newton–Cotes integrals. To ensure solution stability and convergence, our approach is based on the Galerkin weak form of the domain integral method. To combat the challenges of instability and imprecision, we integrated the stabilized conforming nodal integration method and the naturally stable nodal integration. The proposed methods efficacy is validated through various benchmark problems, with preliminary results showcasing superior precision and stability.
