NOTE:

z must be periodic
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be of class infinity in $z=0$ and $z=2\pi$
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be single valued when $\rho\to0$
The field $f(\rho, \theta)$ must be continuous in the $\rho$ direction with $f(\rho, \theta + \pi)$
Eventual BC in $\rho$ must be satisfied

# NOTE: We get a blow up in S here

# We multiply with cos(6*pi*x/(2*Lx)) in order to give it a modulation, and to get a non-zero value at the boundary
