Getting blank plot in MATLAB
显示 更早的评论
Hi, could I know where I might be wrong in the following code as Im getting blank graph. The parameter vel and acc are time dependent which in turn Fh is function of time.
function [Fh] = hydro(t)
Cd = 0.6;
Ca = 0.9699;
R = 4.7;
for t=0:0.1:10
vel = compute_wavevelocity(t)
acc = compute_waveacceleration(t)
fun = sym((0.5*997*Cd*2*R*abs(vel)*vel)+(Ca*997*pi*(R^2)*acc)+(pi*(R^2)*997*acc));
Fh(t==0:0.1:10) = eval(int(fun,0,-120));
end
plot(t,Fh), xlabel('time(s)'), ylabel('Fh')
title ('Fh vs Time')
end

Do you really even need symbolics? Or could you do it numerically, something like this:
Cd = 0.6;
Ca = 0.9699;
R = 4.7;
all_t=0:0.1:10
for k = 1 : length(all_t)
t = all_t(k);
vel = compute_wavevelocity(t)
acc = compute_waveacceleration(t)
fun = (0.5*997*Cd*2*R*abs(vel)*vel)+(Ca*997*pi*(R^2)*acc)+(pi*(R^2)*997*acc);
Fh(k) = fun;
end
plot(all_t,Fh), xlabel('time(s)'), ylabel('Fh')
title ('Fh vs Time')

This is because t is a scalar. When you plot, it has the value it was assigned on the last loop of the for loop: 10.
Try changing the x input in your plot command:
plot(0:0.1:10,Fh)

Check your function for errors? With what you have provided, I can't help.

Huh? Have you shown what compute_velocity & compute_waveacceleration function is? Are we supposed to read your mind?

It is cyclical, occurring every 2.5 seconds. It appears to be related to your expression for vel and acc. Specifically, cos((k*0)-(omega*t)) and sin((k*0)-(omega*t)). Since k*0 is always zero, and since sin and cos return a value of 0 in increments spaced π apart, I'd say that the result you are observing is to be expected based on the code you have shared.
Check that your equation is correct.

This appears to be due to how you are assigning your values to Fh in your for loop. It's likely taking too long, so the result is some values get skipped. Since this is an unconventional way to do it anyway, I suggest updating your code to the following.
function Fh = hydro(t)
Cd = 0.6;
Ca = 0.9699;
R = 4.7;
t=0:0.1:10;
for i = 1:length(t)
vel = compute_wavevelocity(t(i));
acc = compute_waveacceleration(t(i));
fun = sym((0.5*997*Cd*2*R*abs(vel)*vel)+(Ca*997*pi*(R^2)*acc)+(pi*(R^2)*997*acc));
Fh(i,1) = double(int(fun,0,-120));
end
plot(t,Fh), xlabel('time(s)'), ylabel('Fh')
title ('Fh vs Time')
Let me anticipate the next issue.
You have hardcoded your function to run for 10 seconds, meaning that it does not matter what value you call hydro with. You will always get the result for 10 seconds.

These appear to be new questions. I suggest creating a new post for each.
