Locating Closed Streamlines in 3D Vector Fields

چکیده
The analysis and visualization of flows is a central problem in visualization. Topology based methods have gained increasing interest in recent years. This article describes a method for the detection of closed streamlines in 3D flows. It is based on a special treatment of cases where a streamline reenters a cell to prevent infinite cycling during streamline calculation. The algorithm checks for possible exits of a loop of crossed faces and detects structurally stable closed streamlines. These global features are not detected by conventional topology and feature detection algorithms.

متن کاملAn Illustrative Visualization Framework for 3D Vector Fields
Most 3D vector field visualization techniques suffer from the problem of visual clutter, and it remains a challenging task to effectively convey both directional and structural information of 3D vector fields. In this paper, we present a novel visualization framework that combines the advantages of clustering methods and illustrative rendering techniques to generate a concise and informative de...
متن کاملA Streamline Selection Technique for Integrated Scalar and Vector Visualization
Scalar and vector field visualization techniques have evolved almost independently. We think integration of scalar and vector visualization is still an interesting topic. For example, many researchers in fluid dynamics simulations still use 2D scalar and vector visualization techniques in one display, to demonstrate the coherency between scalar (e.g., temperature and air pressure) and vector (e...
متن کاملTracking Closed Streamlines in Time Dependent Planar Flows
Closed streamlines are a missing part in most visualizations of vector field topology. In this paper, we propose a method which detects closed streamlines in a time-dependent two-dimensional flow and investigates the behavior of these closed streamlines over time. We search in all timesteps for closed streamlines and connect them to each other in temporal order to get a tube shaped visualizatio...
متن کاملLocating Critical Points in 3D Vector Fields using Graphics Hardware
Calculating critical points in 3D vector fields is computationally expensive, and requires parameter adjustments to maximize the number and type of critical points found in a particular 3D vector field. This paper details the modifications required to execute Greene’s bisection method directly on graphics hardware, and compares the performance of the CPU+GPU versions to the CPU only versions.
