-{{gtspring2009:​gibson.png?​24}} In this case the scaling of the field and the color scale is closely related to the question of whether or not to add the laminar flow to the field. By adding the laminar flow in and scaling the eigenvector,​ you are plotting %%laminar + scale * eigenvector%%,​ a linear combination of two different ​fluid states. The //shapes// in the plot will be quite dependent on the relative strength of the two different fields in the sum. On the other hand, if you leave the laminar flow out and just plot %%scale * eigenvector%%,​ the shapes will be constant but the color scale will be more or less intense. If you are interested in understanding the eigenvector,​ the latter is preferable: you see the shape of the eigenvector,​ not the eigenvector mixed with an unrelated fluid state. ​+{{gtspring2009:​gibson.png?​24}} In this case the scaling of the field and the color scale is closely related to the question of whether or not to add the laminar flow to the field.
