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 paper presents the state of the art in the area of topology‐based visualization. It
describes the process and results of an extensive annotation for generating a definition and …

This paper presents a novel method to extract vortical structures from 3D CFD
(computational fluid dynamics) vector fields automatically. It discusses the underlying theory …

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 …

We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser
beam propagating in a nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere …

Separation and attachment lines are topologically significant curves that exist on 2D
surfaces in 3D vector fields. Two algorithms are presented, one point-based and one …

We present our results on the visualization of nonlinear vector field topology. The underlying
mathematics is done in Clifford algebra, a system describing geometry by extending the …

The goal of this paper is to define a convolution operation which transfers image processing
and pattern matching to vector fields from flow visualization. For this, a multiplication of …

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have been revolutionizing the way computer graphics
and visualization are practiced. Driven by the computer-games industry and its demand for …
