Interactive investigation of fluid mechanics data sets
Steve M. Legensky · IEEE Visualization · 1990
Scientific Visualization techniques provide convenient means to graphically represent various types of experimental and computational data. Fluid mechanics data tends to be challenging to visualize. FIELDVIEW is a visual analysis tool designed to facilitate the interactive investigation of these data sets by providing an easy-to-use interface to the flow field data. Operating on NASA Plot 3D format data, FIELDVIEW computes scalar and vector flow quantities and displays them using a variety of representations including animation. An interactive viewing interface allows free motion around the data under study to allow the researcher to locate and study the interesting flow features of three-dimensional fluid dynamic data.
