Numerical solution of steady state partial differential equation (PDE) model is proposed using a stabilized local meshless method (SLMM). The PDE model under consideration is used to approximate longitudinal dispersion of suspended particles of turbulent flow moving with both zero and nonzero settling velocities. In the proposed technique, a shape parameter based SLMM is used to calculate effects of mean velocity and variable eddy diffusivity accurately. In the case of zero settling velocity, when particles are injected from a line source located at some height, numerical results confirm the experimental results. Numerical results of the SLMM also confirm numerical results produced by finite difference method (FDM) as well.
