All the widely used pointwise vortex-identification schemes based on the velocity-gradient tensor ∇u (Q, λ₂, Δ, and λ_ci) implicitly suppress - unlike vorticity - the biasing effect of shear on their outcome. However, it is shown below that explicit sheareliminating vortex-identification methods are in this regard more efficient in regions of strong shear. The latter ones are represented by the triple-decomposition method (TDM) and by the very recently proposed average-corotation scheme; their results, not mutually compared earlier, are remarkably similar.
