3 Who is Bob? July 2006: Joined Computer Science Department at Swansea University : worked at VRVis Research Center (VRVis.at)–the bridge between academia and industry in Austria 2005: PhD, Computer Science, Vienna University of Technology (Gruess Gott TUWien) 2000: Msc., Computer Science, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 1997: BSc., Physics, University of Massachusetts (ZooMass), Amherst, MA Research in Scientific Visualization, Information Visualization, Visual Analytics 3

4 Challenge of Flow Visualization
Challenge: to effectively visualize both magnitude + direction often simultaneously magnitude only orientation only 4

5 Automatic Streamline Seeding Videos

6 Stream Surfaces Terminology:
Stream surface: a surface that is everywhere tangent to flow Stream surface: the union of stream lines seeded at all points of a curve (the seed curve) Next higher dimensional equivalent to a streamline Unsteady flow can be visualized with a path surface or streak surface 6

7 Stream Surfaces: Advantages
Separates (steady) flow: flow cannot cross surface (stream surfaces only) Perception: Less visual clutter and complexity than many lines/curves Perception: well-defined normal vectors make shading easy, improving depth perception Rendering: surfaces provide more rendering options than lines: e.g., shading and texture-mapping etc. Disadvantages: Construction/Implementation: more complicated algorithms are required to construct integral surfaces Occlusion: multiple surfaces hide one another Placement: placement of surfaces is challenging (video demo) 7

8 Constructing Streak Surfaces in 3D Unsteady Vector Fields (Video)

10 Texture-Based Flow Visualization
Complete coverage Flow features shown Difficult to apply to 3D Downstream direction shown tumble behavior non-ideal (video) 10

11 Feature-Based Flow Visualization
Feature-Based Visualization Topological skeleton of flow is extracted explicitly Features shown automatically Applicable to 3D Complete coverage Downstream direction not shown (demo video) red = saddle blue = sink green = source 11
