I'm trying to get the plots shown in the enclosed image. Not sure how to fix the code. Attached the .txt data file. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Ok thank you, however, I have not been able to get the plots as shown in the image attached, so not sure how to fix it.?

When vector U are all zeros, its less likely, that velocity profile can be evaluated correctly,
There needs to be a condition where the vector U needs to be updated with right values
theta(j) = theta(j-1) + U(j, i) * dy / Ue(i);
% ------------------->>> theta vector are all zeros, conisder u(j) or some
% input taken from VelN variable or combination of both u(j) & VelN
% Recheck whether this equation is correctly formulated
U(j, i+1) = U(j, i) + (U(j, i) * (F(3) - F(1)) - U(j, i)^2 * theta(j) + nu * Uyy) * dx / Ue(i)^2;
