Abstract
The numerical solution of free boundary problems gives rise to many computational difficulties. One such difficulty is due to the singularity at the separation point between the fixed and free boundaries. A method is suggested which uses complex variable techniques to determine the shape of the free boundary near to the separation point. This complex variable solution is also used to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference solution in the neighbourhood of the singularity. The analytical study was incorporated into an algorithm for the numerical solution of a particular free boundary problem concerning the percolation of a fluid through a porous dam. Some numerical results for this problem are presented.
