Abstract

This paper presents a new numerical collocation procedure, based on Cartesian grids and one-dimensional integrated radial-basis-function networks (1D-IRBFNs), for the simulation of natural convection defined in two-dimensional multiply-connected domains and governed by the stream function-vorticity-temperature formulation. Special emphasis is placed on the handling of vorticity values at boundary points that do not coincide with grid nodes. A suitable formula for computing vorticity boundary conditions, which is based on the approximations with respect to one coordinate direction only, is proposed. Normal derivative boundary conditions for the stream
function are forced to be satisfied identically. Several test problems, including natural convection in the annulus between square and circular cylinders, are considered to investigate the accuracy of the proposed technique.
