“…Therefore, as soon as it was put forward, researchers focused attention on its application NOMENCLATURE a ij , b ij , c ij , d ij coefficients in the partial derivative of the shape function c specific heat (e x , e y ) unit normal vector outward to surface h heat transfer coefficient k, (k x , k y ) thermal conductivity L length of the line n, n 3 and development. The CVFEM and its modified forms have been demonstrated to be effective numerical approaches [23][24][25][26][27]. For 2-D problems, the CVFEM at first employed only constant strain elements viz., a three-node triangular grid.…”
