How can I create contour for velocity?

Hello;

I want to contour velocity field . This velocity field has one column for X , one column for Y and one column for velocity values. How can I contour this matrix?

The Matrix is written such as following:

 X [ m ]   Y [ m ]   Velocity v.Gradient

Hello Mohammad,

if I understand your question correctly, it doesn't make much sense to draw a contour plot for your data, since the y component is always the same. You can't get more info out of this data then a simple plot could show you

If 'D' is your matrix, just do

 plot(D(:,1),D(:,3),'*')

If you still want to do a contour plot look up the contour documentation

best,

Stephan

Thank you Stephan

ACtually this filw is small part of the exact file and the y is changing .let me upload the exat file

[Stephan M. H.]

I think it would be better if you describe your problem in a general form instead of posting a huge file or matrix. Important would be, e.g., if you know the (x,y) data points or get velocity samples at random locations?

Actually the file is so big I can not upload it here. I have to upload the exel file.

anyway I have matrix like 40000*3. each column is related to different value. How can I contour this matrix.

Thanks

[mohammad pourtousi]

I would like to send the excel file to you and get your suggestion for piloting this kind of data. I was wondering if I could have your Email.

Thanking you.
