Plot3D doesn't like that variable range on l...
Would something like the following work for you?
a = -1/2;
b = 1/2;
v = 2;
f[r_, l_] := Sin[r] Cos[l];
Plot3D[If[ l<v/(Pi*r^2), f[r, l], -10000],
{l, 0, 40}, {r, a, b},
PlotRange -> {{0, 40}, {-1/2, 1/2}, {-1, 1}},
Mesh -> False, PlotPoints -> 100]
Basically, the added If statement sets the function to an invalid low
level outside the region of interest. The PlotRange option keeps this
extreme low from ruining the scaling of the plot. The other options
allow for a visually pleasing edge.
Hope that helps,
Daniel
