piv_velocity_gradient — PIV field op

Data kinds: flow2dtable

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

Usage

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

速度勾配テンソルの成分と、そこから出る量をまとめて返す。

渦度・発散・Q 基準・渦回転強度・ひずみ速度はすべて同じ 4 つの微分から

出るので、勾配を 4 回計算し直さずに済むようにここへまとめる。個々の op

(:func:piv_vorticity など)は単独でも使えるが、複数要るならこちら。

Returns:

dict: `dudx / dudy / dvdx / dvdy(各 (h, w)`)、

`vorticity / divergence / q / swirl / strain_rate`、

`spacing`。
