The automatic three-dimensional mesh generation system for molecular geometries developed in our laboratory is used to solve the Poisson᎐Boltzmann equation numerically using a finite element method. For a number of different systems, the results are found to be in good agreement with those obtained

✦ Synopsis
The vector Poisson equation is sometimes supplemented by conditions that include the specification of the boundary value of the divergence of the unknown. A rigorous analysis of such a vector Poisson problem and uncoupled solution methods have been presented for domains of C 1,1 and Lipschitz regularity in [1] and [2], respectively. In this work, the finite element approximation of the two uncoupled solution methods is studied, and a convergence analysis of the numerical schemes is provided together with some numerical results.

The appropriate specification of boundary conditions is the main difficulty in the finite element solution of the streamfunction-vorticity equations for two-dimensional incompressible laminar flows. In this context, we show that the appropriate specification of both the outflow and the inflow bounda
