Poisson–Boltzmann equation

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.11489

A differential equation that uses a mean-field, continuum model to describe the electrostatic interactions in ionic solutions where both ions and solvent are treated implicitly, resulting in less computational effort to describe biomolecules in ionic aqueous solutions.
