~This paper presents an interactive visualization software, called GLIC (Graphical Line Integral Convolution), for visualizing data jrorn steady and unsteady CFD simulations. The system features a new type of visualization technique, called Line Integral Convolution (LIC), which converts flow datu into images and animations to capture complicated flow behavior and to help scientists detect important flow features. GLIC contains a flexible graphical user interface and an eficient multi-threaded software environment in which users can interactively specify regions of interest and effectively steer visualization with minimum effort. GLIC is ideal for visualizing data from largescale CFD simulations with complex model geometries.
