Purpose Solutions for the earth return mutual impedance play an important role in analyzing couplings of multi-conductor systems. Generally, the mutual impedance is approximated by Pollaczek integrals. The purpose of this paper is devising fast algorithms for calculation of this kind of improper integrals and its applications. Design/methodology/approach According to singular points, the Pollaczek integral is divided into two parts: the finite integral and the infinite integral. The finite part is computed by combining an efficient Levin method, which is implemented with a Chebyshev differential matrix. By transforming the integration path, the tail integral is calculated with help of a transformed Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature rule. Findings Numerical tests show that this new method is robust to high oscillation and nearly singularities. Thus, it is suitable for evaluating Pollaczek integrals. Furthermore, compared with existing method, the presented algorithm gives high-order approaches for the earth return mutual impedance between conductors over a multilayered soil with wide ranges of parameters. Originality/value An efficient truncation strategy is proposed to accelerate numerical calculation of Pollaczek integral. Compared with existing algorithms, this method is easier to be applied to computation of similar improper integrals, such as Sommerfeld integral.

In this paper, the steady temperature distribution and the Nusselt numbers are analytically determined for a Newtonian incompressible fluid in a rectangular duct, in fully developed laminar flow with viscous dissipation, for any combination of heated and adiabatic sides of the duct, in H1 boundary condition, and neglecting the axial heat conduction in the fluid. The Navier-Stokes and the energy balance equations are solved using the technique of the finite integral transforms. For a duct with four uniformly heated sides (4 version), the temperature distribution and the Nusselt numbers are obtained as a function of the aspect ratio and of the Brinkman number and presented in graphs and tables. Finally it is proved that the temperature field in a fully developed T boundary condition can be obtained as a particular case of the H1 problem and that the corresponding Nusselt numbers do not depend on the Brinkman number.

Programs that utilize the Alekseev–Mikhailenko method are becoming viable seismic interpretation aids because of the availability of a new generation of supercomputers. This method is highly numerically accurate, employing a combination of finite integral transforms and finite difference methods, for the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations, to yield the total seismic wave field.In this paper two questions of a numerical nature are addressed. For coupled P–Sv wave propagation with radial symmetry, Hankel transforms of order 0 and 1 are required to cast the problem in a form suitable for solution by finite difference methods. The inverse series summations would normally require that the two sets of roots of the transcendental equations be employed, corresponding to the zeroes of the Bessel functions of order 0 and 1. This matter is clarified, and it is shown that both inverse series summations may be performed by considering only one set of roots.The second topic involves providing practical means of determining the lower and upper bounds of a truncated series that suitably approximates the infinite inverse series summation of the finite Hankel transform. It is shown that the number of terms in the truncated series generally decreases with increasing duration of the source pulse and that the truncated series may be further reduced if near-vertical-incidence seismic traces are avoided.
