Laplace Equation (SPS)

Uploaded by

The Laplace equation describes the steady state temperature distribution in two or more dimensions. It is derived from the divergence of the gradient of temperature being equal to zero. The Laplace equation can be written in different coordinate systems, such as polar coordinates, cylindrical coordinates, and spherical polar coordinates. Solving the Laplace equation for the specific case of a disc, it is assumed that the solution can be separated into a radial and angular part. This leads to ordinary differential equations that can be solved for different cases depending on the separation constant. Specific solutions are presented for positive, negative, and zero values of the separation constant.

 Let a solution of equation(i) be of the form

 Then equation(i) becomes

r 2 R" (r )  rR '(r )  "( )


    (const.)
R(r )  ( )
------(iii)

  "   0 ----(iv)

r 2 R " rR '  R  0 -----(v)


 Equation (v) is solved by putting
r  et
So that it is reduced to
