Summary

This paper deals with an unsteady-state three-dimensional heat conduction problem in a prismatic body which has a complicated boundary shape. Numerical techniques such as a relaxation method must be used to solve a problem of this type; this method, however, requires unusually large amounts of labour. The method used in this paper consists of the application of conformal mapping and numerical solution of a partial differential equation and is applied first to a prismatic body of square cross section for which the exact solution is well known. As a second application, the approximate solution for a problem involving a star-shaped cross section is presented.
