Abstract

2D shallow water equations with depth-averaged kε model is considered. A meshless method based on multiquadric radial basis functions is described. This methods is based on the collocation formulation and does not require the generation of a grid and any integral evaluation. The application of this method to a flow in horizontal channel, taken as an experimental device, is presented. The results of computations are compared with experimental data and are found to be satisfactory
