Dear all,

thank you for the quick replies and many different suggestions! 

All the different tools work and I think the Surface LCI plugin is a nice 
solution (and much quicker to visualize than streamlines!). 

Cheers

 The Tesselate filter will linearize quadratic elements. We will check the 
issue with the quadratic triangle also.   -berk

   Hi Andreas,

 The best way I can think of to get this working in ParaView is to use the 
programmable filter to convert to linear triangles. You can also subdivide the 
triangles if you want to maintain your higher order accuracy.

 Regards,
Andy

Indeed, my smaller mesh had linear triangles. And changing that to quadratic 
triangles gives the same behavior (attachment).

What is the best way to circumvent this? 

The reason why I wanna use the vorticity function is the following: eddies 
appear all over the domain and using lines with the streamtracer filter gives 
regions with either no streamlines or regions that are very much crowded by 
streamlines. Therefore, having a vorticity field would be a suitable approach 
to have a nice and clean visualization of the flow field.

 It looks like these are quadratic triangles. I'm not sure that the compute 
derivatives filter works with that type of cell. Did your smaller grid also 
have quadratic cell types?

Hi Andy,

thanks for your quick reply. Please find the *.vtu file attached.

 Can you share your data set? It will be difficult to diagnose without that.

Hi there,

I have the following problem: 

When I calculate the vorticity through Filters > Compute Derivatives > 
Vorticity for a simple example (driven cavity in 2D) with only few elements on 
an unstructured grid I get the correct values. 

Though, when I do the same for a bigger domain, i.e. more elements (~80 000 
nodes), I only get zero vorticity values. 

The grids and values are all read in from *.vtu files, with the exact same 
format, meshes are triangluar 2D (z-components set to 0.0). 

I can reproduce the behavior on different versions of ParaView: 3.14.1 & 4.1.0 
as well as different operating systems: Windows 7 ">
