A new two-dimensional computational method for obtaining structures of rapidly rotating stars and gas disks is formulated. This is a variant of the self-consistent field (SCF) method. The original SCF methods have an important drawback in that the iteration does not converge for the case of high T/absolute value of W, where T is the total rotational energy and W the gravitational energy. The present new method removes this defect and facilitates the calculation of structures, such as ring, core-ring, and very flat disk, effectively and economically. Equations of state of two types are studied in the present paper: those for polytropic stars and those for zero-temperature white dwarfs.
