Abstract: The Okubo-Weiss function is correlated with the fluid particle compression, deformation and vorticity, which provides a simple way to characterize different regions of a flow-field. In the present paper, it shows mathematically that the global integration of Okubo-Weiss function is always equal to zero for a two dimensional incompressible flow with no-slip boundaries. To validate the conclusion, a flow passing a circular cylinder controlled by the electromagnetic force is calculated numerically as an example. Distributions of global enstrophy, total squared strain and Okubo-Weiss function in the controlled flow field are discussed. The influence of Lorentz force on the distribution is analyzed.
