A Method for Solving Poisson's Equation for Systems with Axial Symmetry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
In computer experiments on the dynamics of stellar systems special methods are often required for the computation of the forces to keep the problem manageable. For collisionless systems a method based on solving Poisson's equation with Fourier-series expansions has been used with success (Miller et al., 1970; Hohl, 1973). The systems in these studies consist of a large number of particles moving on a rectangular grid.
