Abstract
A stabilized element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is designed to simulate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow at very large Hartmann numbers. By transforming the MHD flow to two decoupled convection-diffusion problems, residual-based formulas are devised to improve the performance of the standard EFG method damaged by large Hartmann numbers. Error of the stabilized EFG method is discussed in theory. Numerical examples show that this meshless method can produce efficacious solutions for MHD problems with very large Hartmann numbers such as 1016.
