1: 10.73 Physical Applications
Laplace’s equation governs problems in heat conduction, in the distribution of potential in an electrostatic field, and in hydrodynamics in the irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid. … More recently, Bessel functions appear in the inverse problem in wave propagation, with applications in medicine, astronomy, and acoustic imaging. … In quantum mechanics the spherical Bessel functions arise in the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation for a particle in a central potential. …
§10.73(v) Rayleigh Function
For applications of the Rayleigh function σ n ( ν ) 10.21(xiii)) to problems of heat conduction and diffusion in liquids see Kapitsa (1951a).
2: 14.31 Other Applications
§14.31(i) Toroidal Functions
Applications of toroidal functions include expansion of vacuum magnetic fields in stellarators and tokamaks (van Milligen and López Fraguas (1994)), analytic solutions of Poisson’s equation in channel-like geometries (Hoyles et al. (1998)), and Dirichlet problems with toroidal symmetry (Gil et al. (2000)). …
§14.31(ii) Conical Functions
The conical functions 𝖯 1 2 + i τ m ( x ) appear in boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation in toroidal coordinates (§14.19(i)) for regions bounded by cones, by two intersecting spheres, or by one or two confocal hyperboloids of revolution (Kölbig (1981)). These functions are also used in the Mehler–Fock integral transform (§14.20(vi)) for problems in potential and heat theory, and in elementary particle physics (Sneddon (1972, Chapter 7) and Braaksma and Meulenbeld (1967)). …

    Details of the Airy theory are given in van de Hulst (1957) in the chapter on the optics of a raindrop. … Extensive use is made of Airy functions in investigations in the theory of electromagnetic diffraction and radiowave propagation (Fock (1965)). … In fluid dynamics, Airy functions enter several topics. … Reference to many of these applications as well as to the theory of elasticity and to the heat equation are given in Vallée and Soares (2010): a book devoted specifically to the Airy and Scorer functions and their applications in physics. … This reference provides several examples of applications to problems in quantum mechanics in which Airy functions give uniform asymptotic approximations, valid in the neighborhood of a turning point. …

    Let z , α , t . …These two apparently different solutions differ only in their normalization and boundary conditions. …Theta-function solutions to the heat diffusion equation with simple boundary conditions are discussed in Lawden (1989, pp. 1–3), and with more general boundary conditions in Körner (1989, pp. 274–281). In the singular limit τ 0 + , the functions θ j ( z | τ ) , j = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , become integral kernels of Feynman path integrals (distribution-valued Green’s functions); see Schulman (1981, pp. 194–195). This allows analytic time propagation of quantum wave-packets in a box, or on a ring, as closed-form solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.

    §19.33(ii) Potential of a Charged Conducting Ellipsoid
    If a conducting ellipsoid with semiaxes a , b , c bears an electric charge Q , then the equipotential surfaces in the exterior region are confocal ellipsoids: … A conducting elliptic disk is included as the case c = 0 . … The same result holds for a homogeneous dielectric ellipsoid in an electric field. …
