Meshless FD method over FEM?

Hi all,
Recent meshless methods are proving to be a better way of solving nonlinear equations in CFD. I have used Least Square based Finite Difference and it proved to be a great tool. I have read in many discussions that FD has a disadvantage that it cant be applied to complex geometries. Now, I have a doubt with this. If FD can solve complex geometries easily, does it mean that meshless FD is better than FEM? (In Least Square Based FD, the derivatives can be approximated to a higher order easily) Please clarify, Regards, Shyam |

Hi, Shyam:
Could you introduce some reference on meshless FD? Thanks. - Ma |

Here is a list of references on meshless methods in CFD. There is a growing body of literature in structural mechanics, see IJNME, JNMF, and Comp. Meth. Appl. Mech. Engg.
