plotting - Trying to plot a velocity profile in x-y plane

I have a velocity profile for two liquids on top of each other in a pressure driven channel. The profile is supposed to be parabolic. I plotted them up, but I can't manage to plot them in the x-y plane, it only plots with velocity on the vertical coordinate and y as the horizontal coordinate. Is there any way I can plot them in the x-y plane so that I can clearly see which liquid is ahead of the other in the channel and their parabolic profile? I am also trying to define v1 on a certain interval from y=0 to y=ha, and v2 from y=ha to y=H, so v1 and v2 are sort of piecewise.

Here is my code, this is for mercury(just to start somewhere) and water

v1[y_, μ1_, P_, ha_, H_, μ2_] :=
  P*(1/(2*μ1))*y*(y + ((ha^2*(μ2 - μ1) - H*μ2)/(ha*(μ2 - μ1) + H*μ1)))

v2[y_, μ1_, P_, ha_, H_, μ2_] :=
  P*(1/(2*μ2))*(y^2 + ((ha^2*(μ2 - μ1) - H*μ2)/(ha*(μ2 - μ1) + H*μ1))* y +
   (ha *  H/μ1)*( (μ1 - μ2)*(H*μ2 - ha * μ1)/(ha*(μ2 - μ1) + H*μ1 )))

Plot[{v1[y, 0.00157, -6, 1, 2, 0.001], v2[y, 0.00157, -6, 1, 2, 0.001]}, {y, 0, 10}]

Velocity vs y

Profile

Answer

How about using ParametricPlot?

ParametricPlot[{{v1[y, 0.00157, -6, 1, 2, 0.001], 
   y}, {v2[y, 0.00157, -6, 1, 2, 0.001], -y}}, {y, 0, 10}, 
 AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio, PlotStyle -> Black, Frame -> True]

Mathematica graphics

For more precise control, you may need two separate ParametricPlots and combine the output using Show[plot1, plot2, PlotRange -> All].

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 - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
