Abstract
The Poisson equation frequently emerges in many fields of science and engineering. As exact solutions are rarely possible, numerical approaches are of great interest. Despite this, a succinct discussion of a systematic approach to constructing a flexible and general numerical Poisson solver can be difficult to find. In this introductory paper, a comprehensive discussion is presented on how to build a finite difference matrix solver that can solve the Poisson equation for arbitrary geometry and boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are implemented in a systematic way that enables easy modification of the solver for different problems. An image-based geometry-definition approach is also discussed. Python code of the numerical recipe is made publicly available. Numerical examples are presented that show how to set up the solver for different problems.
