The Element-Free Method for Steam Turbine Rotor

Article Preview

Abstract:

The element-free method is a new numerical method, which requires only nodal data and whose shape functions are continual and differentiable. The element-free method employs moving least-square approximants to approximate original functions. In this paper, discrete equations of axial symmetry problem are obtained by variational principle and Gaussian quadrature. Several numerical examples indicate that the element-free method can obtain more accurate results about these problems, moreover, results and their gradients are continuous in the entire domain and post-processing to obtain a smooth gradient field is total unnecessary. Finaly, the element-free method is applied to heat conduction problems for steam turbine rotor.
