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

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].

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
