This communication presents a novel transient meshless formulation for analyzing wave propagation through linear dispersive materials. Many real materials are linear dispersive; thus, their constitutive parameters are not constant and change with frequency. However, the conventional numerical techniques are not proper tools for numerical analysis of dispersive materials, considering that they are formulated based on the assuming constant constitutive parameters for the materials. Therefore, until now, a number of numerical techniques have been proposed for modeling frequency behavior of dispersive materials. On the other hand, meshless methods are new and powerful numerical techniques which their capability in simulating the problem domain without using connection information among nodes makes them efficient techniques for modeling problems with complex geometries. In this communication, we have demonstrated that by incorporating some approaches into the meshless methods, we can turn them into suitable tools for modeling dispersive media. In order to obtain a meshless analysis of a dispersive medium, we have considered the scalar radial basis function meshless method, and for taking the frequency behavior of the medium into account, the auxiliary differential equations method has been used. Hence, the proposed dispersive meshless method not only models the frequency behavior of the dispersive materials but also provides more flexibility in simulating problems with complex geometries. In addition, the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed method are investigated by two numerical examples.
