Flowtrace: simple visualization of coherent structures in biological fluid flows.
We present a simple, intuitive algorithm for visualizing time-varying flow fields that can reveal complex flow structures with minimal user intervention. We apply this technique to a variety of biological systems, including the swimming currents of invertebrates and the collective motion of swarms of insects. We compare our results with more experimentally difficult and mathematically sophistic...
متن کاملSolitary coherent structures in viscoelastic shear flow: computation and mechanism.
Starting from stationary bifurcations in Couette-Dean flow, we compute nontrivial stationary solutions in inertialess viscoelastic circular Couette flow. These solutions are strongly localized vortex pairs, exist at arbitrarily large wavelengths, and show hysteresis in the Weissenberg number, similar to experimentally observed "diwhirl" patterns. Based on the computed velocity and stress fields...
متن کاملNumerical computation of coherent structures
In many applications one is interested in finding solutions to nonlinear evolution equations with a particular spatial and temporal structure. For instance, solitons in optical fibers and wave guides or buckling modes of long structures can be interpreted as localised travelling or standing waves of an appropriate underlying partial differential equation (PDE) posed on an unbounded domain. Spir...
متن کاملFluid Visualization of Spreadsheet Structures
Spreadsheets augment a visible tabular layout with invisible formulas. Direct manipulations of the tabular layout may or may not result in the desired changes to the formulas. The user is forced to explore the individual cells to find, verify, and modify the formulas, which causes heavy cognitive overhead. We present a set of techniques that make these formulas and their resulting dataflow stru...
متن کاملVisualization of Coherent Structures of Light Transport
The radiance structure inside the glass sphere (Figure 1) results from total internal reflection that allows light to reach points that are otherwise in shadow due to refraction perturbing light paths towards the center. The hard boundaries of these structures mark the narrow stripes where light travels around the sphere several times by total internal reflection, after it just managed to enter...
