## Abstract Element‐free Galerkin (EFG) methods are based on a moving least‐squares (MLS) approximation, which has the property that shape functions do not satisfy the Kronecker delta function at nodal locations, and for this reason imposition of essential boundary conditions is difficult. In this

## Abstract One of major difficulties in the implementation of meshless methods is the imposition of essential boundary conditions as the approximations do not pass through the nodal parameter values. As a consequence, the imposition of essential boundary conditions in meshless methods is quite awk
The main objective of this study is to compare the in¯uence of different boundary conditions upon the incompressible Poiseuille±Be Ânard channel ¯ow (PBCF) in a 2D rectangular duct heated from below. In a ®rst technical part the algorithm used to carry out this work, based on the augmented Lagrangia
