Hi everyone!
I'm having some trouble trying to plot streamlines of a field I'm using in a code. It is a 3D field whose components are represented by 3 functions (Bx,By,Bz) I defined.
I'm interested in plotting the streamlines of the field into a 3D thoroidal volume but I don't really have a clue about the right way to do this; I tried to use this code but it doesn't work.
Babs=5;
R0=0.1; %major R
r0=linspace(0,0.005,3); %inner R
th=linspace(0,2*pi,20); %poloidal angle
phi=linspace(0,2*pi,30); %thoroidal angle
[Phi,Th,rr0]=meshgrid(phi,th,r0);
xx=(R0+rr0.*cos(Th)).*cos(Phi);
yy=(R0+rr0.*cos(Th)).*sin(Phi);
zz=rr0.*sin(Th);
[starty,startz]=meshgrid(yy,zz);
streamline(xx,yy,zz,Bx(Babs,xx,yy,zz,R0),By(Babs,xx,yy,zz,R0),Bz(Babs,xx,yy,zz,R0),starty.*0,starty,startz);
%definisco le funzioni per il campo B
function a1 = Bx(Babs,x,y,z,R0)
RR=sqrt(x.^2+y.^2);
a1=R0.*Babs.*(-1.*sin(atan2(y,x)))./RR;
end
function b1 = By(Babs,x,y,z,R0)
RR=sqrt(x.^2+y.^2);
b1=R0.*Babs.*(cos(atan2(y,x)))./RR;
end
function c1 = Bz(Babs,x,y,z,R0)
c1=Babs.*x.*0;
end
the error I get is
Error using griddedInterpolant
The grid vectors must contain unique points.
I'm also not sure about what way would be the best to define startx, starty and startz in this case.
Thanks in advance for everyone who will try to help me!
