The local topology evolution of a high‐symmetry, high resolution (effective maximum resolution of 10243 grid points, maximum wave number of 341) incompressible flow simulation having a Reynolds number (=1/ν) of 1000 is investigated. The Q–R invariants of the velocity gradient tensor Aij, the enstrophy, ΩijΩij and the mean‐square strain rate SijSij are computed at an interval when the local maximum vorticity increases drastically. All the analysis of the computations are done on the z=0 plane, where the maximum vorticity and strain are located during the evolution. In the Q–R plane, most of the collocation points evolve towards the lower right corner, a region where strain dominates over vorticity. The pressure Hessian tensor components are computed in the 0 planes. Points with very large strain and no vorticity, which are located along the boundaries separating oppositely signed vortices, are found to have a diagonal pressure Hessian tensor. It is discussed how such a Hessian tensor form can result in a s...
