A dual-time implicit mesh-less scheme is developed for solution of governing viscous flow equations. The computational efficiency of the method is enhanced by adopting accelerating techniques such as local time stepping and residual smoothing. The Taylor series least square method is used for approximation of derivatives at each node which leads to a central difference spatial discretization. The capabilities of the method are demonstrated by flow computations about standard cases at subsonic and transonic laminar flow conditions. Results are presented which indicate good agreements with the alternative numerical and experimental data. The computational time is considerably reduced when using the proposed mesh-less method compared with the explicit mesh-less and finite-volume counterparts using the same distribution of points.
