I'm plotting the stream lines of fluid flow past a cylinder, and I would like the colors to increase with contour curvature (i.e. increase as the velocity of the flow increases. Here's a MWE that seems to color it based on the the y-axis value:
ψ[r_, θ_] := U (r - a^2/r) Sin[θ]
r = Sqrt[x^2 + y^2];
θ = ArcSin[y/r];
stream = ContourPlot[
ψ[r, θ] /. U -> 10, a -> 1,
x, -5,5, y, -5, 5,
Contours -> 10 Table[i, i, -10, 10, 0.025]
];
cyl = Graphics[Disk[0, 0, 1]];
Show[stream, cyl]

The white regions are peaks in the curvature distribution. You may increase PlotRange to make the white regions smaller, however, at the price of less contrast.
