Maxwell's 1st Equation (div d = vol. charge density)

Hi, I have a situation in cylindrical coordinates such that I know the volume charge density but what to calculate the Electric Flux Density D.

The problem is that the volume charge density is a complex function: a * sin(k * pi * rho) and my limits of integration are awkward, so my question is, is it possible to just partially integrate the divergence of d (in cylindrical coordinates) in order to obtain my result? I didn't try it, but it seems like an easier approach to the problem.

Thanks
Brian

WaterStreet, I've since solved the problem by fighting through the nasty integration.

But thanks for the suggestion.
