Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient mesh-less method which combines the direct radial basis function partition of unity (D-RBF-PU) method and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) framework for solving parabolic PDEs on the evolving surface. The evolution mode of surface is obtained by the D-RBF-PU method for solving the forced mean curvature flow (FMCF). The new method maintains the quasi-uniformly distributed of points by setting a suitable tangential velocity and is called the “ALE D-RBF-PU” method. Furthermore, we verify the method is more stable and has higher accuracy than the D-RBF-PU method which is designed based on the Lagrangian framework. Besides, the RBF-PU method relies on a set of patches to assemble the differentiation matrix. Hence, this method is faster than the RBF-FD method for parabolic PDEs on the evolving surface. Numerical experiments confirm the convergence, stability and other characteristics of the proposed method.
