Vector and Tensor Field Topology Simplification on Irregular Grids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Topology-based visualization of planar turbulent flows results in visual clutter due to the presence of numerous features of very small scale. In this paper, we attack this problem with a topology simplification method for vector and tensor fields defined on irregular grids. This is the generalization of previous work dealing with structured grids. The method works for all interpolation schemes.

Topology Simplification of Symmetric, Second-Order 2D Tensor Fields
Numerical simulations of tubulent flows produce both vector and tensor fields that exhibit complex structural behavior. The topological study of these datasets dramatically reduces the amount of information required for analysis. However, the presence of many features of small scale creates a cluttered depiction that confuses interpretation. In this paper, we extend previous work dealing with v...
متن کاملOn the character space of vector-valued Lipschitz algebras
We show that the character space of the vector-valued Lipschitz algebra $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$ of order $alpha$ is homeomorphic to the cartesian product $Xtimes M_E$ in the product topology, where $X$ is a compact metric space and $E$ is a unital commutative Banach algebra. We also characterize the form of each character on $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$. By appealing to the injective tensor product, we the...
متن کاملTopology Simplification for Turbulent Flow Visualization
Topology-based methods have become standard tools for the visualization of planar vector and tensor fields. This success is due to their ability to convey huge discrete datasets into synthetic graph depictions that exhibit all qualitative properties of the flow. In that way one reduces dramatically the amount of information while preserving insight into essential characteristics. Yet, in the ca...
متن کاملRobustness for 2D Symmetric Tensor Field Topology
Topological feature analysis is a powerful instrument to understand the essential structure of a dataset. For such an instrument to be useful in applications, however, it is important to provide some importance measure for the extracted features that copes with the high feature density and discriminates spurious from important structures. Although such measures have been developed for scalar an...
متن کاملParallel visualization of gigabyte datasets in GeoFEM
Parallel visualization of large datasets in GeoFEM is described. Our visualization subsystem supports concurrent visualization with computation, and outputs a simplified small graphic primitive set, which can be displayed by a basic viewer on clients. This subsystem provides many kinds of parallel visualization algorithms for the users to visualize their data from scalar, vector to tensor. Scal...
