Abstract

"The purpose of this investigation is to design and construct a simple conducting field analog to solve problems described by the two-dimensional Poisson or Laplace equations. Decisions concerning choice of conducting media, construction of problem models, and design and construction of a specialized power supply with instrumentation were based on the results of previous experiments. Several problems are solved using the designed apparatus. Partial solutions to these problems are displayed in graphical form.

The greatest deviation of the experimental results from iterative values was consistently less than 8%. In most cases the deviation was less than 6%. The console arrangement containing the specialized power supply and instrumentation was sufficiently flexible in design to allow the analog simulation of the various problems to be performed relatively quickly and easily"--Abstract, p. ii
