    3 The 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.
     3The governing equation is Poisson's equation for gravity, which for a given mass distribution can be solved for the gravitational potential, with appropriate boundary conditions that closes the system of discretized equations on a mesh. These boundary conditions are either periodic, or specifying the potential or its derivative on the boundary. In astrobear, we use the potential to solve for the gravitational forces in the fluid.
