✦ Synopsis

Plane radial flow of water in a closed aquifer towards a circular well or heat flow through a homogeneous conducting solid from a circular hole to infinity are well known problems that were solved long ago. The solution is expressed in terms of an integral of ordinary Bessel functions. A new solution, which is expressed in terms of an integral of modified Bessel functions, is derived by means of Laplace transformation instead of integration of Green's function. One particular choice of the Bromwich contour in the invers transformation, which appears unnecessarily complicated, gives a solution the integral of which converges much more rapidly than the corresponding integral that is given in the literature. In contrast with the classical solution, the new one gives an explicit expression for the transient part.

We present a scheme for solving two-dimensional, nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations, using a mixed finite-element method. To linearize the mixed-method equations, we use a two grid scheme that relegates all the Newton-like iterations to a grid H much coarser than the original one h , with no lo

In this paper the diffusion equation is solved in two-dimensional geometry by the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). It is structured by fully implicit discretization over time and by weighting with the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation. The resulting domain integral of the
