The differential quadrature element method and differential quadrature finite difference method have been proposed by the author. The DQ, GDQ and mapping technique have been used to develop DQEM and DQFDM solution algorithms for solving scientific and engineering problems having irregular domain configurations. The two novel numerical methods are use to solve the problems of 2-D heat conduction in orthotropic media having irregular domain configurations. Numerical results are presented. They demonstrate the developed algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
