piv_swirling_strength — PIV field op

Data kinds: flow2dimage2d

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

Usage

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

渦回転強度 λ_ci —— 速度勾配テンソルの複素固有値の虚部の大きさ。

Q 基準と同じく「せん断と渦を区別する」量だが、こちらは**回転の角速度に

等しい単位**を持つ(1/フレーム)。実測: 剛体回転 ω=0.01 で `0.01`、

一様膨張とせん断で `0.0`。

固有値が実数(= 回転していない)の場所は 0 を返す。各点で独立な 2x2 の

固有値なので、格子全体をベクトル化して一度に解いている。
