A perspective of computational hydrodynamics is presented that is considered relevant to particular Naval hydrodynamic problems. This is not intended as a survey of the field in general; rather, it is a summary of the ongoing research and development of computational tools in the Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab at Mississippi State University. A discussion is given of the enabling technologies...

We present a technique that allows a comprehensive view to volumetric vector fields on arbitrary mesh structures. The technique is inherently independent from the topological structure of the underlying grid by using vertex-based splats that are parameterized in color, shape and transparency by the vector field. It can be easily attached to volumes, surfaces or lines to depict the properties of...
