Localizing vector field topology

چکیده
Abstract The topology of vector fields offers a well known way to show a “condensed” view of the stream line behavior of a vector field. The global structure of a field can be shown without time-consuming user interaction. With regard to large data visualization, one encounters a major drawback: the necessity to analyze a whole data set, even when interested in only a small region. We show that one can localize the topology concept by including the boundary in the topology analysis. The idea is demonstrated for a turbulent swirling jet simulation example. Our concept works for all planar, piecewise analytic vector fields on bounded domains.

Localizing of a Four-Level Atom via Absorption Spectrum
We propose a scheme for localizing an atom in a four-level configuration inside a classical standing wave field, conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. In the classical standing wave field, the interaction between the atom and the field is position dependent due to the Rabi-frequency of the driving field. Hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is mea...
متن کاملFuzzy Topology Generated by Fuzzy Norm
In the current paper, consider the fuzzy normed linear space $(X,N)$ which is defined by Bag and Samanta. First, we construct a new fuzzy topology on this space and show that these spaces are Hausdorff locally convex fuzzy topological vector space. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are established to illustrate that the presented fuzzy topology is equivalent to two previously studied fuz...
متن کاملTime-Dependent 2-D Vector Field Topology: An Approach Inspired by Lagrangian Coherent Structures
This paper presents an approach to a time-dependent variant of the concept of vector field topology for 2D vector fields. Vector field topology is defined for steady vector fields and aims at discriminating the domain of a vector field into regions of qualitatively different behavior. The presented approach represents a generalization for saddletype critical points and their separatrices to uns...
متن کاملVisualizing Nonlinear Vector Field Topology
We present our results on the visualization of non-linear vector field topology. The underlying mathematics is done in Clifford algebra, a system describing geometry by extending the usual vector space by a multiplication of vectors. We started with the observation that all known algorithms for vector field topology are based on piecewise linear or bilinear approximation and that these methods ...
متن کاملVisualizing Lagrangian Coherent Structures and Comparison to Vector Field Topology
This paper takes a look at the visualization side of vector field analysis based on Lagrangian coherent structures. The Lagrangian coherent structures are extracted as height ridges of finite-time Lyapunov exponent fields. The resulting visualizations are compared to those from traditional instantaneous vector field topology of steady and unsteady vector fields. The examination is applied to th...
