Dear Ali, thanks once again for your help. This is the case. I shared like this as it is a quite large one (around 400 mb)  
I tried to do a 2D slice at z=0 with normal (0 0 1) and plot the 2D streamlines

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.[3D data](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ShKeS8c0TYw4bWF3J8s3e5Ix6amqOv5S/view?usp=sharing)
