I am plotting this vector field: 

Q[k_, N_] := Show[ContourPlot[3 - 3 BesselJ[0, r[x, y] a^-1], {x, -N, N}, {y, -N, N}, 
ContourStyle -> Opacity[0.3]], 

StreamPlot[{Sin[θ[x, y]], -Cos[θ[x, y]]}, {x, -N, N}, {y, -N, N}, 
PlotRange -> {Full, Full}, RegionFunction -> 
Function[{x, y}, a^2 - a^2/100 < x^2 + y^2 <=  a^2 + a^2/100], 
StreamStyle -> Red, StreamPoints -> {pts, Automatic, Scaled[2]}, 
StreamScale -> None],

StreamPlot[{Abs[(1 - a/r[x, y])^(1/2)] + 
a^(1/2)/r[x, y]^(1/2) Cos[θ[x, y] k], 
a^(1/2)/r[x, y]^(1/2) Sin[θ[x, y] k]}, {x, -N, N}, {y, -N, 
N}, PlotRange -> {Full, Full}, 
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, x^2 + y^2 > a^2], 
StreamStyle -> {Blue, Thick, "Line"}, PerformanceGoal -> "Quality", 
StreamScale -> Full], 

ImageSize -> Large]

with 

r[x_, y_] := Sqrt[x^2 + y^2];
θ[x_, y_] := ArcTan[x, y];

a = 3;
pts = Flatten[
Table[{x, y}, {x, -a - a/10, a + a/10, 0.1}, {y, a - a/10, a + a/10, 0.1}], 1];

But I can't find a set of StreamPoints to avoid the segmentation of the lines near the x-axes. 

Q[1/2,10]

Any ideas? Thanks!

  • $\begingroup$ Add more points as you see fit $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 3, 2015 at 19:51
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks! How do I add more lines (i.e. starting points) on the left? I can't quite manage it! $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2015 at 16:16
  • $\begingroup$ @usumdelphini Updated the code to do that $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2015 at 16:55
  • $\begingroup$ I tried, but it doesn't show me the full lines for some reason, but only the parts near the edges of the frame $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2015 at 17:13
  • $\begingroup$ @usumdelphini Try it on a clean (new) Mathematica session. If it doesn't work it's probably because of a version mismatch issue. I'm using Mathematica 9. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 4, 2015 at 17:16
