In simulations in solid mechanics such as stress wave propagation it is not uncommon to have failure criteria based on the maximum value seen at a location, hence, a "running max/min function," for example, rmax(velocity-x) that returns the maximum velocity seen up to the current point in time for each location produces a visual that is rapidly interpreted.
