differential equations - 2d solution to 3d using axial symmetry - Finite Element


This problem is axially symmetric. I want to solve using the Finite Element method and taking advantage of the symmetry.


(Note: eleField3D needs to be called with Cartesian coordinates)


Needs["NDSolve`FEM`"]
Clear["Global`*"]

cylinOffset = 0.0125;(*meter*)
cylinRadius = 0.0075;(*meter*)


shellRadius = 0.0233;(*meter*)
scaleLen = 2.10;

cylinVoltage = 100;

shell = ImplicitRegion[0 <= r <= shellRadius && ζ^2 <= (scaleLen shellRadius)^2, {r,ζ}];
halfTorus = ImplicitRegion[(r - cylinOffset)^2 + ζ^2 <= cylinRadius^2 && r <= cylinOffset, {r, ζ}];

reg = ToElementMesh[RegionDifference[shell, halfTorus], AccuracyGoal -> 9, PrecisionGoal -> 9, MaxCellMeasure -> 1*^-8];

RegionPlot[reg, AspectRatio -> scaleLen]

Please check that my 2D (r,z) Cylindrical Laplacian is correct.


solution =  NDSolveValue[{(1/r) D[r D[u[r, ζ], r], r] + D[u[r, ζ], {ζ, 2}] == 0,
   DirichletCondition[u[r, ζ] == 0, r == shellRadius],
   DirichletCondition[u[r, ζ] == 0, ζ^2 == (scaleLen shellRadius)^2],
   DirichletCondition[u[r, ζ] == cylinVoltage, r == cylinOffset && ζ^2 <= cylinRadius^2],
   DirichletCondition[u[r, ζ] == cylinVoltage, (r - cylinOffset)^2 + ζ^2 == cylinRadius^2 && r <= cylinOffset]},
 u, {r, ζ} ∈ reg, Method -> {"FiniteElement"}]


How do I revolve the solution to get the 3D field?


Proposed Answer:


eleFieldCylin[r_, ζ_] = -Grad[solution[r, ζ], {r, ζ}];
eleField3D[x_, y_, z_] = RotationTransform[ArcTan[x, y], {0, 0, 1}][
  Insert[eleFieldCylin[Sqrt[x^2 + y^2], z], 0, 2]];

Show[
 VectorPlot3D[eleField3D[x, y, z],
  {x, -shellRadius, shellRadius}, {y, -shellRadius, shellRadius},
  {z, -(scaleLen shellRadius), (scaleLen shellRadius)}],

 RegionPlot3D[
  DiscretizeRegion[
   ImplicitRegion[(cylinOffset - Sqrt[x^2 + y^2])^2 + z^2 <= 
      cylinRadius^2 && x^2 + y^2 <= cylinOffset^2, {x, y, z}]]]
 ]

Answer



I think the proposed answer is correct now, here's just some suggestions.


First, you can deduce Laplace equation with the help of Laplacian to avoid possible mistakes:


Laplacian[u[r, ζ], {r, th, ζ}, "Cylindrical"] == 0
(* Derivative[0, 2][u][r, ζ] + Derivative[1, 0][u][r, ζ]/r + 

     Derivative[2, 0][u][r, ζ] == 0 *)

Second, eleField3D can be defined in a clearer and simpler way with TransformField:


eleFieldCylin[r_, ζ_] = -Grad[solution[r, ζ], {r, th, ζ}, "Cylindrical"];
eleField3D[x_, y_, z_] = 
  TransformedField["Cylindrical" -> "Cartesian", 
   eleFieldCylin[r, ζ], {r, th, ζ} -> {x, y, z}]

Third, it may be better to set a region function for VectorPlot3D, for example:


regionfunc = (Function[{x, y, z}, #1] & )[

       0 <= r <= shellRadius && ζ^2 <= (scaleLen*shellRadius)^2 && 
            ! ((r - cylinOffset)^2 + ζ^2 <= cylinRadius^2 && 
                r <= cylinOffset) /. {r -> Sqrt[x^2 + y^2], ζ -> z}];

VectorPlot3D[
  (Piecewise[{{#1, regionfunc[x, y, z]}}, 
          {0, 0, 0}] & )@eleField3D[x, y, z]//Evaluate, {x, -shellRadius, shellRadius}, 
  {y, -shellRadius, shellRadius}, {z, -(scaleLen shellRadius), scaleLen shellRadius}]

4th, I think PrecisionGoal and AccuracyGoal has no obvious effect here and can be taken away. (Have you read this post?: Is manual adjustment of AccuracyGoal and PrecisionGoal useless?)

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
