GPUFLIC: Interactive and Accurate Dense Visualization of Unsteady Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents an efficient and accurate implementation of Unsteady Flow LIC (UFLIC) on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We obtain the same, high quality texture representation of unsteady two-dimensional flows as the original, time-consuming method but leverage the features of today’s commodity hardware to achieve interactive frame rates. Despite a remarkable number of recent contributions in the field of texture-based visualization of time-dependent vector fields, the present paper is the first to provide a faithful implementation of that prominent technique fully supported by the graphics pipeline.

Visualization of Numerical Unsteady Fluid Flows
Instantaneous streamlines are commonly used to visualize particle paths in steady flows. It is shown, however, that streaklines are often more appropriate for unsteady flows. The typical size of unsteady flow simulations makes interactive visualization difficult if not impossible. Two common approaches for visualizing unsteady flows are described. The advantages and disadvantages of each are di...
متن کاملReal-time Visualization of Unsteady Vector Fields
We propose a new technique to visualize dense vector fields associated with unsteady fluid flows. This technique is based on a Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection (LEA) scheme, and it enables animations with high spatio-temporal correlation at interactive rates. We demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the technique in applications to numerical simulation of a shock interacting with a longitudin...

In this paper, we propose a new technique to visualize dense representations of time-dependent vector fields based on a Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection (LEA) scheme. The algorithm produces animations with high spatio-temporal correlation at interactive rates. With this technique, every still frame depicts the instantaneous structure of the flow, whereas an anima...
متن کاملExtension Ability of Reduced Order Model of Unsteady Incompressible Flows Using a Combination of POD and Fourier Modes
In this article, an improved reduced order modelling approach, based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method, is presented. After projecting the governing equations of flow dynamics along the POD modes, a dynamical system was obtained. Normally, the classical reduced order models do not predict accurate time variations of flow variables due to some reasons. The response of the dynam...
متن کاملA Semi-Global Approach to Interactive Visual Analysis of Multivariate Flow Simulation Data
We introduce a framework for interactive visualization of global flow features in large unsteady 3D flow fields. It is based on selective visualization using dense precomputed integral lines (streamlines, path lines) linked together with all other data attributes. This way we are able to provide an uniform and interactive environment for custom feature specification and visualization of non-loc...
