Hi, every one!  
I am a beginner to Paraview.  
Could someone help me to visualize the data please?  
I have vti files where 2D velocity data also in.  
[level\_400.vti](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/vmk8ZnqjF2bmgL4G1V6iaJgs8yw.vti) (770.3 KB)

It works well that changes of velocity and voriticy can see obviously. But when I plot the velocity streamline using `Stream Tracer`, it looks really odd:

Could someone hlep me some hints to get meaningful streamline around the object?

Thank you so much!  
Sopo.

Looks like an issue with 2D image data. Just add a “AppendDataSet” filter that will convert to unstructured grid before your stream tracer.

It works well. Thank you so much 😀 😀
