Physics-based Velocity Field Simplification for Flow Visualization

A. Pobitzer

Abstract

With the availability of more computing power, simulations of increasingly complex fluid flows have become possible. In the attempt to make sense of data, visualization has greatly gained importance in everyday scientific computing. Many visualization techniques do, however, suffer from a tendency to overly rich response in complex scenarios. Hence, filtering of the visual output is an important topic. In this talk we discuss how such filtering can be achieved in a physically meaningful way, giving examples from the extraction of vortices and Lagrangian coherent structures.
