PurposeThis paper aims to describe the 2D meshless local boundary integral equation (LBIE) method for solving the Navier–Stokes equations.Design/methodology/approachThe velocity–vorticity formulation is selected to eliminate the pressure gradient of the equations. The local integral representations of flow kinematics and transport kinetics are derived. The integral equations are discretized using the local RBF interpolation of velocities and vorticities, while the unknown fluxes are kept as independent variables. The resulting volume integrals are computed using the general radial transformation algorithm.FindingsThe efficiency and accuracy of the method are illustrated with several examples chosen from reference problems in computational fluid dynamics.Originality/valueThe meshless LBIE method is applied to the 2D Navier–Stokes equations. No derivatives of interpolation functions are used in the formulation, rendering the present method a robust numerical scheme for the solution of fluid flow problems.
