Abstract

Meshfree stabilised methods are employed and compared for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in Eulerian formulation. These Petrov-Galerkin methods are standard tools in the FEM context, and can be used for meshfree methods as well. However, the choice of the stabilisation parameter has to be reconsidered. We find that reliable and successful approximation with standard formulas for the stabilisation parameter can only be expected for shape functions with small supports or dilatation parameters.
