    33The governing equation is Poisson's equation for gravity, which for a given mass distribution can be solved for the gravitational potential. In astrobear, we use the potential to solve for the gravitational forces in the fluid. The equation we use for the resultant force is either in conservative or non-conservative form (want to read more into the numerical methods here and link to these pages).
