In recent years the work on vector field visualization has been concentrated on LIC-based methods. In this paper we propose an alternative solution for the visualization of unsteady flow fields. Our approach is based on the computation of temporal series of correlated images. While other methods are based on pathlines and try to correlate successive images at the pixel level, our approach consi...

In this paper we consider the standard bilinear nite element method (FEM) and the corresponding streamline diiusion FEM for the singularly perturbed elliptic boundary value problem ?" (@ 2 u @x 2 + @ 2 u @y 2) ? b(x; y) ru + a (x; y)u = f (x; y) in the two space dimensions. By using the asymptotic expansion method of Vishik and Lyusternik 42] and the technique we used in 25, 26], we prove that ...

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a novel cell boundary element (CBE) method for the convection dominated diffusion equation. The CBE method can be viewed as a Petrov-Galerkin type method defined on the skeleton of a mesh. The proposed method utilizes continuity of normal flux on each inter-element boundary. By constructing a local basis (mesh-oriented element) that is dependent upon the...

Computational simulation of steam flow and heat transfer in power plant condensers on the basis of the threedimensional mathematical model for the flow through porous media is presented. In order to solve the mathematical model of steam flow and heat transfer in power plant condensers, the Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is applied. By comparison of the results of simula...

We present a residual based artificial viscosity finite element method to solve conservation laws. The Galerkin approximation is stabilized by only residual based artificial viscosity, without any least-squares, SUPG, or streamline diffusion terms. We prove convergence of the method, applied to a scalar conservation law in two space dimensions, toward an unique entropy solution for implicit tim...

We present a novel method to detect multimodal regions composed of linear structures and measure the orientations in these regions, i.e. at line X-sings, T-junctions and Y-forks. In such complex regions an orientation detector should unmix the contributions of the unimodal structures. In our approach we first define a (streamline) divergence metric and apply it to our streamline field to detect...

Flow vector fields contain a wealth of information that needs to be visualized. As an extension of the well-known streamline technique, we have developed a context-based method for visualizing steady flow vector fields in two and three dimensions. We call our method "Priority Streamlines". In our approach, the density of the streamlines is controlled by a scalar mapping function that can be use...

Random walks are developed to approximate the solutions of multiscaling, fractional-order, anomalous diffusion equations. The essential elements of the diffusion are described by the matrix-order scaling indexes and the mixing measure, which describes the diffusion coefficient in every direction. Two forms of the governing equation (also called the multiscaling fractional diffusion equation), b...
