This is a classical model system for atoms. We obtain the configurations of the charged particles which, depending on the value of N and Z, may result in ring structures, hexagonal-type configurations and for N/Z~1 in an inner structure of particles which is separated by an outer ring of particles. For N/Z<<1 the Hamiltonian of the parabolic confinement case is recovered. For N/Z~1 the configurations are very different from those found in the case of a parabolic confinement potential. A hydrodynamic analysis is presented in order to highlight the correlations effects.9 pages, 11 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. E. RevTeX4 formatStrongly Correlated Electronstext
