As shown recently [Phys. Rev. E 95, 033307 (2017)], spheroidal harmonics expansions are well suited for the external solution of Laplace's equation for a point source outside a spherical object. Their intrinsic singularity matches the line…

We introduce a new class of solutions to Laplace equation, dubbed logopoles, and use them to derive a new relation between solutions in prolate spheroidal and spherical coordinates. The main novelty is that it involves spherical harmonics…
Spherical harmonics (SH) have been extensively used as a basis for analyzing the morphology of particles in granular mechanics. The use of SH is facilitated by mapping the particle coordinates onto a unit sphere, in practice often a…

A method is described by which a function defined on a cubic grid (as from a finite difference solution of a partial differential equation) can be resolved into spherical harmonic components at some fixed radius. This has applications to…
The numerical calculation of optical properties (extinction, absorption, scattering and polarisation efficiencies) is often time-consuming for non-spherical and inhomogeneous particles. Where possible analytical methods are therefore to be…
