The Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping of the interior of a regular hexagon upon the interior of a circle has been integrated analytically, as a simple irrational function of the Weierstrass equianharmonic elliptic function. The hexagonal coordinate system thus generated has broad applicability to the nuclear, thermodynamic, and stress analyses of hexagonal lattice reactors.
