MATLAB: Question about surf function

t = linspace(0,2,100)
x = linspace(0,10,100)
[X,T]=meshgrid(x,t)
U = 10*sin(2*pi*(T-X/5))+2*sin(2*pi*(T+X/5))
surf(X,T,U)

MATLAB: How to plot a surface in its parametric form

clc; clear all ;
M = 100 ; N = 100 ;
rinf = 100 ; % take rinf how big you want 
r = linspace(0,rinf,M) ; 
t = linspace(0,2*pi,N) ; 
[R T] = meshgrid(r,t) ;
X = R.*cos(T) ;
Y = R.*sin(T) ;
Z = R.^3/6 ;
surf(X,Y,Z) ;
