Abstract: In order to obtain the numerical results of 3D convection-diffusion-reaction problems with variable coefficients efficiently, we select the improved element-free Galerkin (IEFG) method instead of the traditional element-free Galerkin (EFG) method by using the improved moving least-squares (MLS) approximation to obtain the shape function. For the governing equation of 3D convection-diffusion-reaction problems, we can derive the corresponding equivalent functional; then, the essential boundary conditions are imposed by applying the penalty method; thus, the equivalent integral weak form is obtained. By introducing the IMLS approximation, we can derive the final solved linear equations of the convection-diffusion-reaction problem. In numerical examples, the scale parameter and the penalty factor of the IEFG method for such problems are discussed, the convergence is proved numerically, and the calculation efficiency of the IEFG method are verified by four numerical examples.
