The Thomas-Fermi equation was numerically solved for a harmonically confined, two-dimensional gas system at finite temperatures. Numerical results were compared with analytical ones provided by the literature for a non-interacting case at finite temperatures and for a interacting case at T = 0 K. Excellent agreement was achieved for both cases. The results indicate that interactions affect the density of particles and hence, the density-dependent thermal functions significantly.en10.1142/S021797921110206Xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessThomas-Fermi ApproximationFermi GasHarmonic ConfinementCoulomb InteractionArticle263Q3WOS:000299748300006Q4
