plotting - StreamPlot symmetry


I have a given (quite difficult) electrical field and i want to make a Streamplot.



This are my Functions:


Ey1 := -σ (Log[
  a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] + 
 Log[-a + x + 
   Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]]) + σ (Log[-a -
    x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] + 
 Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]])

Ey2 := σ (Log[
      a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] + 

     Log[-a + x + 
       Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]]) - σ (Log[-a -
        x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] + 
     Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]])

Ez1 := σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z - 
         d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] + 
     ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z - 
         d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z - 
          d)^2])]) - σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z - 

         d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] + 
     ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z - 
         d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])])

Ez2 := -σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z + 
         d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] + 
     ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z + 
         d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z + 
          d)^2])]) + σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z + 
         d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] + 

     ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z + 
         d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])])

This is my first Plot:


sp3 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], 
   Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], Table[{1.34, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10, 
    x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15}, 
  StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]}, 

  StreamPoints -> sp3],
 Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick, 
   Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}]]

enter image description here


This is my second Plot:


   sp1 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}],Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];
   sp2 = Table[{-1.9, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10, 

    x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15}, 
  StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]}, 
  StreamPoints -> sp1],
 Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick, 
   Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}], 
 StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10, x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1,
     d -> 2}, {z, -2, 2}, {y, -10, 10}, StreamScale -> None, 
  StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]}, StreamPoints -> sp2]]

As you can see, on the second plot, i have two Streamplots, one for the outside of the plate and one for the inside.


The reason for this is, as you can see in the first Streamplot on the highlighted spots, where i used only one one Streamplot, it seems that close to the plate on the inside, ther are no lines anymore.


On the Second Plot i can place the manual StreamPoints on the inside very close to the Plate (-1.9), so it looks totally symmetric.


On the first Plot i cant place the manual StreamPlots not closer than 1.34, otherwise all lines on the inside vanishs.


Basicly Teh electrical field functions are in both cases the same, its just a second StreamPlot on in use. But with this second StreamPlot i get a total different behavior in the inside of the plates.


Does somebody know why, and is it possilbe to plot it like the second plot, but with only one Streamplot ?

Answer



To give an example of what I meant in my comment.


params = {a -> 10, x -> 0, σ -> 1, d -> 2};


ode = {z'[t], y'[t]} == ({Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {v : y | z :> v[t]} /. 
    params);
ics = Show[sp, Graphics[{Red, PointSize@Large, 
    Point@Fold[Drop, sp3, {{38}, {20}}]}]]; 
psol = ParametricNDSolveValue[{ode, {z[0], y[0]} == {a, b},
   WhenEvent[Abs[z[t]] > 15 || Abs[y[t]] > 15, "StopIntegration"],
   WhenEvent[Abs[Abs@z[t] - 2] < 0.01 && Abs[y[t]] < 10, "StopIntegration"]},
  {z, y}, {t, -100, 100}, {a, b}, 
  Method -> {"ExplicitRungeKutta", "StiffnessTest" -> True}, 

  MaxSteps -> 10000, MaxStepSize -> 0.1];

sols = psol @@@ sp3; // AbsoluteTiming
(*  {0.402537, Null}  *)

Graphics[{
  Gray, Arrowheads[0.02],
  Arrow[
   Transpose@Through[#["ValuesOnGrid"]] & /@ sols[[1 ;; -1]]
   ],

  {Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick, 
   Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}
  },
 PlotRange -> 15, Frame -> True, PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[.02]]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
