In the conformal mapping of multiply connected domains, the following five canonical slit domains listed by Nehari (1952) are well known: the parallel, circular and radial slit domains, and the circle and circular ring with concentric circular slits. Before that, Koebe (1916) listed thirty-nine canonical slit domains. In this paper, using the charge simulation method, we propose a method of numerical conformal mappings onto their first thirteen canonical slit domains including the above five domains in a more general form. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of our method. We examine also some problems in the computation of complex logarithmic function.
