Abstract
The use of an automatic computer for the direct numerical solution of a cylindrical heat-conduction problem is considered. It is shown that accurate solutions can be obtained easily and rapidly by use of the Crank-Nicolson implicit method. Attention is given to the adequacy of the finite-difference representation in the neighbourhood of a singularity at the boundary.Keywords
