چکیده
SUMMARY Foam researchers generate large, complex, time-dependent data sets with hundreds or thousands of individual bubbles and thousands of time steps. However, no foam specific visual-ization software exists. We briefly describe foam research and its challenges and we present FoamVis, a software application that provides visualization, exploration and analysis techniques for foam research.

FoamVis, A Visualization System for Foam Research: Design and Implementation
Liquid foams are used in areas such as mineral separation, oil recovery, food and beverage production, sanitation and fire fighting. To improve the quality of products and the efficiency of processes in these areas, foam scientists wish to understand and control foam behaviour. To this end, foam scientists have used foam simulations to model foam behaviour; however, analysing these simulations ...
متن کاملVisualizing 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, ...
متن کاملVisualizing 3D Time-Dependent Foam Simulation Data
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 ass...
متن کاملComparative Visualization and Analysis of Time-Dependent, 2D Foam Simulation Data
Liquid foams have important practical applications. To analyze the dependence of foam behavior on material properties, and to improve foam models, foam scientists work with dozens of related simulations obtained by varying these material properties as well as parameters such as foam attributes, properties of objects interacting with foam or shape of foam containers. We present visualization sol...
