Interactive Feature Specification for Simulation Data on Time-Varying Grids

چکیده
SimVis is an interactive research implementation of a visual analysis scheme which we developed for the feature-based assessment of flow simulation data. It is based on the concept of multiple, linked views of different kinds, including views from information visualization such as adapted scatterplots and histograms. In this paper we present an extension to our interactive visual analysis framework, which allows to handle data resulting from CFD simulations which are based on timevarying grids. For interactive and efficient handling of such large data sets, several optimizations had to be realized in the system. Furthermore, we demonstrate the application of our visualization approach in the context of an industry-level application, namely the visual analysis of CFD data from the simulation of combustion in a specific diesel engine. Here we especially focus on the description of how researchers and engineers use the SimVis approach to successfully investigate concrete user questions.

An adaptive framework for visualizing unstructured grids with time-varying scalar fields
Interactive visualization of time-varying volume data is essential for many scientific simulations. This is a challenging problem since this data is often large, can be organized in different formats (regular or irregular grids), with variable instances of time (from hundreds to thousands) and variable domain fields. It is common to consider subsets of this problem, such as time-varying scalar ...

Visualization of high-dimensional, large data sets, resulting from computational simulation, is one of the most challenging fields in scientific viualization. When visualization aims at supporting the analysis of such data sets, feature-based approches are very useful to reduce the amount of data which is shown at each instance of time and guide the user to the most interesting areas of the dat...
