Flow Visualization on Hierarchical Cartesian Grids

چکیده
Due to the limitations of the traditional finite volume CFD approach modern Lattice-Boltzmann methods are becoming more and more widespread. The results of developing an efficient visualization and exploration tool based on the Lattice-Boltzmann solver PowerFlow are summarized here to give the reader a basic insight into the pros and cons of such an approach. Also, the implementation of an automotive soiling simulation, which has been incorporated into the visualization tool, is presented here.

Resampling of Large Datasets for Industrial Flow Visualization
Many industrial flow simulations calculated in the car development process are defined on unstructured grids. However, visualization of unstructured grids is computationally expensive and often does not allow for interactive work with large datasets. On the other hand, there are efficient visualization algorithms for Cartesian grids taking advantage of the grid’s regular topology that achieve i...
متن کاملA Multi-solver Scheme for Viscous Flows Using Adaptive Cartesian Grids and Meshless Grid Communication
This work concerns the development of an adaptive multi-solver approach for CFD simulation of viscous flows. Curvilinear grids are used near solid bodies to capture boundary layers, and stuctured adaptive Cartesian grids are used away from the body to fill the majority of the computational domain. An edge-based meshless scheme is used in the interface region to connnect the near-body and off-bo...
متن کاملInteractive Particle Tracing for the Exploration of Flow Fields in Virtual Environments
Due to rising data sizes and growing complexity, the results of modern numerical simulations are increasingly difficult to understand. Thus, scientific visualization is vital for an in-depth comprehension of computational fluid dynamics data. Especially the use of Virtual Reality methodology for an interactive exploration is gaining more and more importance, as it significantly facilitates the ...
متن کاملPractical Reconstruction and Hardware-Accelerated Direct Volume Rendering on Body-Centered Cubic Grids
In volume visualization, the Cartesian grid is by far the most popular type of grid because it is convenient to handle. But it requires 29.3% more samples than the BodyCentered Cubic grid. In order to convince people used to Cartesian grids for years of the advantages of BodyCentered Cubic grids, we must prove their usability in many different volume rendering algorithms. Therefore we introduce...
متن کاملAn Overset Adaptive Cartesian/Prism Grid Method for Moving Boundary Flow Problems
The use of overset grids in CFD started more than two decades ago, and has achieved tremendous success in handling complex geometries. In particular, overset grids have the advantage of avoiding grid remeshing when dealing with moving boundary flow problems. Traditionally overset grids were mainly used with structured grids to simplify the grid generation process, because a complex computationa...
