Abstract
The mean-field properties of trapped, two-dimensional interacting Bose gase s of finite size are surveyed numerically. The coupled nonlinear equations of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and the Hartree-Fock equation for the condensate and the thermal component, respectively, are calculated by the hybrid method, in which the GP equation and the low-lying excitations less than cut-off energy are calculated quantum mechanically using the basis rep resentation, while the high-lying states are obtained within the local dens ity approximation. Consistent solutions are obtained for the whole range of temperatures including the critical temperature by determining the thermod ynamic chemical potential mu from the condition that the total atomic numbe r must be the desired value, instead of identifying mu with the eigenvalue of the GP equation. Comparisons with the results of the semiclassical two-f luid model are presented.
