Flow visualization research has made rapid advances in recent years, especially in the area
of topology-based flow visualization. The ever increasing size of scientific data sets favors …

Vector fields are a common concept for the representation of many different kinds of flow
phenomena in science and engineering. Methods based on vector field topology are known …

This book explores the study of processing and visually representing data sets. Data
visualization is closely related to information graphics, information visualization, scientific …

We present a new method to visualize from an ensemble of flow fields the statistical
properties of streamlines passing through a selected location. We use principal component …

Topology analysis of plane, turbulent vector fields results in visual clutter caused by critical
points indicating vortices of finer and finer scales. A simplification can be achieved by …

Flow visualization is a well established branch of scientific visualization and it currently
represents an invaluable resource to many fields, like automotive design, meteorology and …

Effective 3D streamline placement and visualization play an essential role in many science
and engineering disciplines. The main challenge for effective streamline visualization lies in …

Clustering applied to unsteady flow fields can simplify flow field data and partition the flow
field into regions of interest. Unfortunately, these areas are often unexplored when applied …

We present the design of a scalable parallel pathline construction method for visualizing
large time-varying 3D vector fields. A 4D (ie, time and the 3D spatial domain) representation …

Predicates are functions that return Boolean values. They are an essential tool in computer
science. A close look at flow feature definitions reveals that they can be seen as point …
