Efficient parallel finite-element methods for planetary gravitation: DtN and multipole expansions
Ziheng Yu, Alex D. C. Myhill, David Al-Attar
The Poisson equation governing a planet's gravitational field is posed on the unbounded domain, , whereas finite-element computations require bounded meshes. We imple…
