Traditional methods such as the finite difference method, the finite element method, and the finite volume method are all based on continuous interpolation. In general, if discontinuity occurred, the calculation result would show low accuracy and poor stability. In this paper, the numerical manifold method is used to capture numerical discontinuities, in a one-dimensional space. It is verified that the high-degree Legendre polynomials can be selected as the local approximation without leading to linear dependency, a notorious “nail” issue in Numerical Manifold Method. A series of numerical tests are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, suggesting that the accuracy by the numerical manifold method is higher than that by the later finite difference method and finite volume method using the same number of unknowns.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in developing meshless methods for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. In this paper, a meshless finite difference method is developed for solving conjugate heat transfer problems in complex geometries. Traditional finite difference methods (FDMs) have been restricted to an orthogonal or a body-fitted distribution of points. However, the Taylor series upon which the FDM is based is valid at any location in the neighborhood of the point about which the expansion is carried out. Exploiting this fact, and starting with an unstructured distribution of mesh points, derivatives are evaluated using a weighted least squares procedure. The system of equations that results from this discretization can be represented by a sparse matrix. This system is solved with an algebraic multigrid (AMG) solver. The implementation of Neumann, Dirichlet and mixed boundary conditions within this framework is described, as well as the handling of conjugate heat transfer. The method is verified through application to classical heat conduction problems with known analytical solutions. It is then applied to the solution of conjugate heat transfer problems in complex geometries, and the solutions so obtained are compared with more conventional unstructured finite volume methods. Metrics for accuracy are provided and future extensions are discussed.
