Viscous Fingers: A topological Visual Analytic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a web-based visual analytics framework to visualize viscous fingers that combines particle systems, direct volume rendering, and graphs. In our first step, we apply a Gaussian filter to the particle dataset to obtain a voxel representation for the entire computational domain. Next, we extract and track the viscous fingers using Reeb graphs, where the fingers are treated as level sets above a user-specified salt concentration. We provide linked views to compare, browse, and analyze the ensembles in real time. The major contribution of this technique is an interactive graph which visualizes the evolution of the fingers over time, i.e., when fingers are formed, split, merge, and dissolve.

Visualizing Ensembles of Viscous Fingers
This paper presents a topological data analysis framework based on persistent homology and Morse complexes for the visualization and analysis of ensemble data-sets representing viscous fingers. Our approach quantitatively corroborates the classical description of viscous fingers. A systematic analysis across several data resolutions indicates converging statistics as the resolution increases.

We studied the growth of viscous fingers as a Laplacian growth by conformal mapping. Viscous fingers grow due to Saffman-Taylor instability in the interface between two fluids, when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous fluid. As there was an interest in the rectangular Hele-Shaw cell, we solved the Laplacian equation with appropriate boundary conditions by means of conformal mapping tech...
متن کاملDiffusion-limited aggregation and viscous fingering in a wedge: Evidence for a critical angle
We show that both analytic and numerical evidence points to the existence of a critical angle of h'60° –70° in viscous fingers and diffusion-limited aggregates growing in a wedge. The significance of this angle is that it is the typical angular spread of a major finger. For wedges with an angle larger than 2h , two fingers can coexist. Thus a finger with this angular spread is a kind of buildin...
متن کاملViscous Fingering: A Topological Visual Analytic Approach
We present a methodology to analyze and visualize an ensemble of finite pointset method (FPM) simulations that model the viscous fingering process of salt solutions inside water. In course of the simulations the solutions form structures with increased salt concentration called viscous fingers. These structures are of primary interest to domain scientists as it is not clear when and where visco...
متن کاملRadial viscous fingers and diffusion-limited aggregation: Fractal dimension and growth sites.
We show that fractal viscous fingers can be formed in a Hele-Shaw cell with radial symmetry, thereby permitting their study —for the first time —without the complicating effects of boundary conditions such as those present in the conventional linear cell. We find —for a wide range of shear-thinning fluids, flow rates, and plate separations —that radial viscous fingers have a fractal dimension d...
