Compare Mathematica with MATLAB by plotting the same equation

Posted 3 years ago

Firstly, the MATLAB programme is

t = 0;
A = 2;
c1 = 1;
c2 = 1;
c = 1/25;
omega = 2;

[xi,eta]=meshgrid(-5:0.1:5,-4:0.1:6);

P = ((2*sinh(xi+omega*t))./(3*cosh(xi+omega*t)))+((5*sinh(xi+omega*t))./(6*cosh(xi+omega*t)).^3)+0.9;
Q = -(sinh(eta))./(cosh(eta));
x = xi-2.5*tanh(xi+omega*t);
y = eta;

Px = -(sech(xi+omega*t)).^2;
Qy = -(sech(eta)).^2;

u = ((A-c1.*c2).*Px.*Qy)./(1+c1.*P+c2.*Q+c.*P.*Q).^2;
view([-45 70]);

surf(x,y,u);
xlabel('x','FontSize',26,'FontName','Times New Roman','FontAngle', 'italic')
ylabel('y','FontSize',26,'FontName','Times New Roman','FontAngle', 'italic')
zlabel('$u$','interpreter','latex','FontSize',24,'FontName','Times New Roman','FontAngle', 'italic')

and it comes

With the same equation, the Mathematica program is

\[Omega] = 2;
A = 2; Subscript[c, 1] = Subscript[c, 2] = 1; Subscript[c, 3] = 1/25;
px = -Sech[\[Xi] + \[Omega] t]^2; p = (2 Sinh[\[Xi] + \[Omega] t])/(
  3 Cosh[\[Xi] + \[Omega] t]) + (5 Sinh[\[Xi] + \[Omega] t])/(
  6 Cosh[\[Xi] + \[Omega] t]^3) + 0.9;
qy = -Sech[\[Eta]]^2; q = -(Sinh[\[Eta]]/Cosh[\[Eta]]);
func[\[Xi]_, \[Eta]_, 
   t_] = ((A - Subscript[c, 1] Subscript[c, 2]) px qy)/(1 + 
      Subscript[c, 1] p + Subscript[c, 2] q + Subscript[c, 3] p q)^2 //
     Rationalize // Simplify;
xyToXiEta[x_, y_, t_] := 
  NSolve[{x == \[Xi] - 2.5 Tanh[\[Xi] + 2 t], 
    y == \[Eta]}, {\[Xi], \[Eta]}, Reals];
With[{t = 0}, 
 ListPlot3D[
  Flatten[Table[{x, y, func[\[Xi], \[Eta], t]} /. 
     xyToXiEta[x, y, t], {x, -2, 2, 0.04}, {y, -1, 5, 0.04}], 2], 
  Axes -> True, PlotRange -> {All, All, {0, 2}}, 
  AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}, ColorFunction -> "TemperatureMap"]]

and it comes

Thanks Gianluca Gorni for providing the Mathematica program.

It is obvious that the MATLAB picture forms like a bridge with empty space under it. However, the Mathematica picture is solid.

How can I improve the Mathematica program to make it like MATLAB's result?

A direct translation of the code is not possible as that function does not exist (ListParametricPlot3D or so). But we can recreate the graphic "manually" by recreating the polygons, or rewrite the code to use ParametricPlot3D (preferred and nicer), I included both:

It is much easier to bypass x,y and plot directly with respect to xi,eta:

With[{t = 0}, 
 With[{x = \[Xi] - 2.5 Tanh[\[Xi] + 2 t], y = \[Eta]}, 
  ParametricPlot3D[{x, y, func[\[Xi], \[Eta], t]}, {\[Xi], -1, 
    2}, {\[Eta], -1, 4}, PlotRange -> All, 
   ColorFunction -> "TemperatureMap"]]]
