So far in the literature, the distribution of stationary temperature over the surface of a half space subjected to a moving circular heat source has been reported in an integral or asymptotic form. In this paper, an exact explicit analytical solution is provided, which allows the determination of the temperatures over the contact area with a very short computational time, regardless of the value of the Peclet number. The solution is based on special functions (Bessel and hypergeometric functions) that are pre-programmed under a formal calculation software (e.g., Maple). The results of the proposed solution are in agreement with the asymptotic models available in the literature.
