✦ Synopsis
Methods for solving the gravitational Poisson equation in spherical coordinates (2 and 3 series dimensions) are discussed with special reference to proto-star collapse calculations. Two different methods, both using expansion of the potential into Legendre functions, are described. The methods have been programmed for the 2-dimensional case with rotational symmetry and reflective equatorial symmetry. They have been tested on some density distributions relevant to collapse simulations and are found to be both fast and accurate.
