DSolve leads to an equation that is different from paper solution


I'm following the method in the two images in an attempt to obtain a value for $\beta$. I know that there's a mistake in (4.36) from here so I used Mathematica's solution to continue the solution. I used the following code:


ClearAll[Y, y, \[Mu] , k, a, \[Theta]]
sol = DSolve[{Y''[y] - ((\[Mu] k \[Pi])/a)^2 Y[y] == (-8 \[Theta])/(
k \[Pi]), Y[-b/2] == 0, Y[b/2] == 0}, Y, y];
Y2[y_] = FullSimplify[ExpToTrig[Y[y] /. sol[[1]]]];
\[Phi][x_, y_] = Y2[y]*Sin[(k \[Pi])/a x];
gj = 2 \!\(
\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\),

FractionBox[\(-b\), \(2\)],
FractionBox[\(b\), \(2\)]]\(\((
\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(0\), \(a\)]\[Phi][x,
y] \[DifferentialD]x)\) \[DifferentialD]y\)\);
a = b; Gx = Gy; \[Mu] = Sqrt[Gx/Gy];
\[Beta] = gj/(Gx a b^3)

to get that $$\beta=\frac{32 \theta \sin ^2\left(\frac{\pi k}{2}\right) \left(\pi b k-2 b \tanh \left(\frac{\pi k}{2}\right)\right)}{\pi ^5 b G_y k^5}$$ According to the solution in the images and my understanding, $\beta$ is a a factor so setting $a=b$ and $G_y=G_x$ should lead to an elimination of those terms, i.e. they divide and become 1 like in the case of the $c$ factor in the paper, but that is not the case in the solution using Mathematica. There are an extra $b$, $\theta$, and $G_y$ that cannot be cancelled with $a$ and $G_x$.


When the author of the paper does N[Sum[\[Beta], {k, 1, 60, 2}]] (they didn't use Mathematica but it's to get the point across) setting $c=1$ they the following result


Results from simulation compared to analytical



which agrees with simulations. When I run N[Sum[\[Beta], {k, 1, 60, 2}]] I get $\frac{0.140577}{G_y}$ which will give me a different answer to the author of the paper.


This is the 4th time that this happens. I've been using several techniques and following various similar solutions but I can't seem to get the equations from Mathematica and from the papers to agree. Is there something wrong with my code that I'm not seeing? Can I rearrange my equation for $\beta$ so that I won't end up with an extra $G_y$ in the solution? Or is it simply that the author made a mistake?


The governing equation for Prandtl’s stress function $\phi(x,y)$ is $$\phi_{xx}+\frac{G_{zy}}{G_{zx}}\phi_{yy}=-2\theta$$ with BCs $\phi(\pm a/2,y)=\phi(x,\pm b/2)=0$.

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 - 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 - 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....
