IS005 - Advanced and applications of Radial Basis Function-based meshless methods is a minisymposium on RBF-FD/meshless taking place at SIMAI 2025 in Trieste, from September 1 to 5, 2025.

The event is organized by Mauro Munerato - Meshless Project Manager at ESTECO, together with Luca Bacer and Riccardo Zamolo from the University of Trieste.
This minisymposium on Radial Basis Function (RBF)-based meshless/meshfree methods aims to explore recent advancements and applications of RBF techniques in computational science and engineering.
This session will cover a range of topics including the theoretical foundations of RBFs, algorithmic developments, computational aspects, coupling with other techniques/approaches, and practical implementations in various fields such as fluid dynamics, heat transfer and solid mechanics. Experts and researchers will have the chance to exchange and discuss on the latest innovations, challenges, and future directions in the development and application of RBF-based meshless methods.
