piv_q_criterion — PIV field op

Data kinds: flow2dimage2d

Call: import pivops; pivops.piv_q_criterion(flow, spacing=1.0) (or opspiv.get("piv_q_criterion"))

Usage

> This operator's description has not been translated yet. The original text follows as it is.

Q 基準 `-tr(J^2)/2`。回転がひずみを上回る場所が正になる。

渦度だけを見るとせん断層も光る(層流の壁近傍が渦に見える)ので、渦の抽出には

こちらを使う。閉形式(解析場を直接与えた実測):

• 剛体回転 ω=0.01 → `+1.0e-4` (= ω^2)

• 一様膨張 s=0.01 → `-1.0e-4` (= -s^2)

• 単純せん断 g=0.02 → `0.0`(せん断は渦ではない、が要点)

★ 閾値を必要とする量である。`Q > 0` だけでは薄い領域まで拾うので、

閾値をどう決めたかを書かない渦可視化は、絵の美しさが閾値の産物である

可能性を隠している。閾値を振ったときの面積変化を併記すること。
