Velocity and vorticity

Contours plots on a plane sweeping through turbulence

Velocity color contour maps in the Reλ = 430 isotropic turbulence DNS dataset on a 2D plane being swept across the domain at a fixed time. Later portions of the video show vorticity contours dominated by small-scale vortices.
