A Numerical Convolution Representation of Potential for a Disk Surface Density in 3D

Figure 2

The numerical solutions of the𝐷₂disk for𝑁=512to investigate the calculation of potentials in polar coordinates. From left to right, the profiles are surface density, the potential on the plane𝑧=0, and the difference between analytic and numerical solutions in natural common logarithm, respectively.
