Dear all,

I have a PDE in cylindrical coordinate but i cant imply the boundary
condition :
In the text book, i have this equation :

eqn = D[u[r,z],{z,2}]+D[u[r,z],{r,2}+D[u[r,z],{r,1}]*1/r == 0

b1 = ( D[u[r,z],{z,1}]/.z->0 ) ==0
b2 = ( D[u[r,z],{r,1}]/.r->10^-5 ) ==0
b3= u[r,2]==1
b4 =u[2,z] ==1

NDSolve[{eqn,b1,b2,b3,b4},u,{r,0,2},{z,0,2}] ==> Error : u[2,z]==1 is
not specified on single edge

and i dont use b4 :
NDSolve[{eqn,b1,b2,b3},u,{r,0,2},{z,0,2}] ===> Error : Number of
constraint (1) is not equal total diff (2).

I cant find the solution ....

==================================================================================

In fact, i want to find the solution of this problem, using NDSolve.
The problem is stated in this demonstration :

Thanks for your help !
