Visualizing 3D Time-Dependent Foam Simulation Data

چکیده
Liquid foams have important practical applications in mineral separation and oil recovery. However, the details of the foam mechanics in these applications are poorly understood. Foam scientists have used 2D foam simulations to model foam behavior and 2D visualization solutions have helped them explore and analyze their data. Three-dimensional foam simulations remove some of the simplifying assumptions made in 2D so they should provide better approximations of reality. Yet no foam specific 3D visualization tools exist. We describe a software tool for the exploration, visualization and analysis of time-dependent 3D foam simulation data. We present feedback from domain experts and new insights into foam behavior obtained using our tool.

Visualizing the dynamics of two-dimensional foams with FoamVis
We describe an interactive computer program FoamVis that provides techniques for visualization, exploration and analysis of time-dependent 2D foam simulation data generated by the Surface Evolver. The program takes a sequence of Surface Evolver files and animates them to show velocity vectors, local strain, the position of topological changes, and the forces on objects immersed in a foam flow, ...

Reduced Differental Transform Method (RDTM), which is one of the useful and effective numerical method, is applied to solve nonlinear time-dependent Foam Drainage Equation (FDE) with different initial conditions. We compare our method with the famous Adomian Decomposition and Laplace Decomposition Methods. The obtained results demonstrated that RDTM is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear part...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications have become designers’ inevitable tools for expressing and simulating innovative ideas and concepts. However, replacing traditional materials and mock-ups with 3D CAD systems, designers are faced with the intangibility problem. As a touchable and graspable interface based on 3D CAD data, we proposed Augmented Foam, which combined Augmented Reality techno...
متن کاملData mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
متن کاملUsing Integral Surfaces to Visualize Cfd Simulation Data Using Integral Surfaces to Visualize Cfd Simulation Data
SUMMARY Visualization of 3D, unsteady (4D) flow is very difficult due to both perceptual challenges and the large size of 4D vector field data. Here, we describe the use of integral surfaces for visualization of CFD simulation data. By " integral " surfaces we mean surfaces based on massless particles that are integrated according to the underlying flow. Traditionally, integral curves, e.g., st...
