Helmholtz Differential Equation--Conical CoordinatesIn Conical Coordinates, Laplace's Equation can be written
| (1) |
where
(Byerly 1959). Letting
| (4) |
breaks (1) into the two equations,
| (5) |
| (6) |
Solving these gives
| (7) |
| (8) |
where are Ellipsoidal Harmonics. The regular solution is therefore
| (9) |
However, because of the cylindrical symmetry, the solution is an th degree SphericalHarmonic. References
