AERONAUTICS & ASTRONAUTICS

Aeronautical data consists of time-varying vector data and scalar quantities relating to the flow data.

In this work we investigate vector field topology and fast isocontouring for the study of turbulence in vector fields.

 


Time varying visualization of vortex production.


Contour of vorticity magnitude.


Vortex core detection with streamline visualization.


Contours of vorticity magnitude and production terms.


Volume visualization of vorticity magnitude in helical flow.

The following are small Quicktime movies of a vortex visualization.
The following are very large SGI movies of the same vortex visualization.

Joint work with Professor Greg Blaisdell of the Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue:
