Abstract

The confined atom Thomas-Fermi equation with non-spherical boundary conditions is considered. A 2-D finite element code for solving the Thomas-Fermi equation with general boundary conditions is demonstrated. Results for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions for ellipsoids of revolution are presented.
