10th IEEE Visualization 1999 (VIS '99) Visualizing Multivalued Data from 2D Incompressible Flows Using Concepts from Painting San Francisco, CA October 25-October 28 ISBN: 0-7803-5897-X
We present a new visualization method for 2d flows which allows us to combine multiple data values in an image for simultaneous viewing. We utilize concepts from oil painting, art, and design as introduced in [1] to examine problems within fluid mechanics. We use a combination of discrete and continuous visual elements arranged in multiple layers to visually represent the data. The representations are inspired by the brush strokes artists apply in layers to create an oil painting. We display commonly visualized quantities such as velocity and vorticity together with three additional mathematically derived quantities: the rate of strain tensor (defined in section 4), and the turbulent charge and turbulent current (defined in section 5). We describe the motivation for simultaneously examining these quantities and use the motivation to guide our choice of visual representation for each particular quantity. We present visualizations of three flow examples and observations concerning some of the physical relationships made apparent by the simultaneous display technique that we employed.
