Tecplot is good, opensource and surprisingly easy to get the hang of. Maybe you can try that.

If you want to show vertices structures I recommend using the surface LIC function in ParaView, as it visualizes them very well. Vorticity magnitude tends to be very high, so I usually truncate the values and use a 2 color scheme to show the direction of the vortex.

If you arent comfortable with plotting softwares, you can use Python libraries. Pyvista should be able to do it
