Abstract
Meshless methods have become an essential numerical tool for simulating a wide range of flow–structure interaction problems. However, the way by which the impermeable solid boundary condition is implemented can significantly affect the accuracy of the results and computational cost. This paper develops an improved boundary scheme through a weak formulation for the boundary particles based on Pressure Poisson's Equation (PPE). In this scheme, the wall boundary particles simultaneously satisfy the PPE in the local integration domain by adopting the Meshless Local Petrov–Galerkin method with the Rankine source solution (MLPG_R) integration scheme (Ma, 2005b) and the Neumann boundary condition, i.e., normal pressure gradient condition, on the wall boundary which truncates the local integration domain. The new weak formulation vanishes the derivatives of the unknown pressure at wall particles and is discretized in the truncated support domain without extra artificial treatment. This improved boundary scheme is validated by analytical solutions, numerical benchmarks, and experimental data in the cases of patch tests, lid-driven cavity, flow over a cylinder and monochromic wave generation. Second-order convergent rate is achieved even for disordered particle distributions. The results show higher accuracy in pressure and velocity, especially near the boundary, compared to the existing boundary treatment methods that directly discretize the pressure Neumann boundary condition.
