Summary In this paper, the dimension splitting reproducing kernel particle method (DSRKPM) for three‐dimensional (3D) potential problems is presented. In the DSRKPM, a 3D potential problem can be transformed into a series of two‐dimensional (2D) ones in the dimension splitting direction. The reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) is used to solve each 2D problem, the essential boundary conditions are imposed by penalty method, and the discretized equation is obtained from Galerkin weak form of potential problems. Finite difference method is used in the dimension splitting direction. Then, by combining a series of the equations of the RKPM for solving 2D problems, the final equation of the DSRKPM for 3D potential problems is obtained. Five example problems on regular or irregular domains are selected to show that the DSRKPM has higher computational efficiency than the RKPM and the improved element‐free Galerkin method for 3D potential problems.

In this paper, a hybrid reproducing kernel particle method (HRKPM) for three-dimensional (3D) advection-diffusion problems is presented. The governing equation of the advection-diffusion problem includes the second derivative of the field function to space coordinates, the first derivative of the field function to space coordinates and time, so it is necessary to discretize the time domain after discretizing the space domain. By introducing the idea of dimension splitting, a 3D advection-diffusion problem can be transformed into a series of related two-dimensional (2D) ones in the dimension splitting direction. Then, the discrete equations of these 2D problems are established by using the RKPM, and these discrete equations are coupled by using the difference method. Finally, by using the difference method to discretize the time domain, the formula of the HRKPM for solving 3D advection-diffusion problem is obtained. Numerical results show that the HRKPM has higher computational efficiency than the RKPM when solving 3D advection-diffusion problems.

This study presents a fast meshless method called the hybrid reproducing kernel particle method (HRKPM) for the solution of three-dimensional (3D) elasticity problems. The equilibrium equations of 3D elasticity are divided into three groups of equations, and two equilibrium equations are contained in each group. By coupling the discrete equations for solving two arbitrary groups of equations, the complete solution of 3D elasticity can be obtained. For an arbitrary group of equations, the 3D elasticity problem is transformed into a series of associated two-dimensional (2D) ones, which is solved by the RKPM to derive the discrete formulae. The discrete equations of 2D problems are combined using the difference method in dimension splitting direction. Then, arbitrarily choosing another group of equilibrium equations, the discrete equation of another group of 2D problems can be obtained similarly. By combining the discrete equations for these two groups of 2D problems, the solution to an original 3D problem will be reached. The numerical results show that the HRKPM performs better than RKPM in solution efficiency.
