Abstract

In this paper, we present the one-dimensional transport equation solving by the isogeometric method, a meshless method using Galerkin Method. This equation has been solved on a semicircle, a curve on ℝ2. The basis of approximation used for this work, is the B-splines basis. We define univariate B-splines. We look at their properties as well as b-splines curves. We calculate the numerical solution of the transport equation using the principle of Galerkin’s method. The Galerkin method approximates the solution of a differential equation by projecting the original problem onto a finite-dimensional subspace. This approach ensures that the residual defined as the error between the exact and approximate solutions, is orthogonal to this subspace. The numerical solution is calculated, using the parametrization of the domain and using the numerical integration of Gauss. Numerical tests have been presented to show the efficiency of this method.
