How do I plot a solution from a PDE within a unit square?
Show older comments
I have solved a nonlinear PDE but now need to plot the solution as a line plot rather than as a surface plot. The solution matrix is given as (phi0) and the unit square is of x and y dimension. How do I obtain a line plot of the solution within this unit square ? see attached for something similar of what i intend doing.

y=linspace(0,H,N);

f(i,j)=((phi0(i+1,j)^2-phi0(i-1,j)^2)/2*dx)+((phi0(i,j+1)^2-phi0(i,j-1)^2)/2*dy)-((phi0(i+1,j)-2*phi0(i,j)+phi0(i-1,j)/dx^2)+...

error = abs((phi_delta0(i,j)-phi_delta(i,j))/phi_delta(i,j));
if error > Tol
flag=1
end
end
end
end
phi0=phi0+0.05*(phi_delta0)
if error > Tol1
