Application of the differential quadrature method to two-dimensional problems with arbitrary geometry

Abstract The technique of differential quadrature for the solution of two-dimensional partial differential equations is extended to encompass problems with arbitrary geometry. It has been applied to thermal and torsional problems with geometry ranging from quadrangles to curved shapes. The results compare well with other solutions, showing reasonably good accuracy.
