A new numerical scheme for calculating the interface phenomena of VCR, namely between magnetic tape and head or drum, is presented. To enable estimation of the characteristics of the designed VCR system and effects of design parameters on the performance, it is necessary to reduce the CPU time and memory storage without sacrificing accuracy. We divide the area to be analyzed into two sub-areas : entire drum area and head area. These are analyzed separately, with the result for the former being used in the analysis of the latter. The results obtained are in good agreement with experimental ones.
