This study introduces a direct method for calculating electrostatic potential, bypassing iterative Poisson equation solvers. The novel approach uses numerical integration and finite-element functions, achieving efficient parallel computation with near-linear scaling.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Physics
  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional electrostatic potential calculations often rely on iterative solutions of the Poisson equation.
  • These iterative methods can be computationally intensive and time-consuming for large systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a direct and straightforward method for calculating electrostatic potential.
  • To develop an algorithm with improved computational efficiency and scalability.

Main Methods:

  • Direct numerical integration of the Coulomb-law expression using finite-element functions on a grid.
  • Circumventing Coulomb operator singularity via integral transformation and Gaussian quadrature.
  • Constructing a 3D finite-element basis as a tensor product of 1D functions for partial expression factorization.
