Abstract

Annotation is a key activity of data analysis. However, current data analysis systems focus almost exclusively on visualization. We propose a system which integrates annotations into a visualization system. Annotations are embedded in 3D data space, using the Post-it¹ metaphor. This embedding allows contextual-based information storage and retrieval, and facilitates information sharing in collaborative environments. We provide a traditional database filter and a Magic Lens² filter to create specialized views of the data. The system is customized for fluid flow applications, with features which allow users to store parameters of visualization tools and sketch 3D volumes.

3D Visualization of the Separated Fluid Flows

For the detailed investigation of the 3D unsteady incompressible viscous separated fluid flows around a sphere (for 200 ≤ Re ≤ 700) and a circular cylinder (for 200 ≤ Re ≤ 400) the direct numerical simulation and 3D visualization are used. For 3D ...
Flow Visualization in Computational Fluid Dynamics

Several flow visualization techniques using the Lagran gian approach are proposed for analyzing the numerical solutions of unsteady flow fields computed by the Eu lerian approach. We show how these methods can be used to assess the validity of solutions ...
