Fourth International Symposium on Advanced Fluid Information and Transdisciplinary Fluid Integration}, year = {2004}, address = {Sendai, Japan}, month = {November}, abstract = {Fluid dynamics applications require a good understanding of the underlying physical phenomena. Therefore, effective procedures are necessary for analyzing and visualizing the various physical fields. Beside interactive and perceptually efficient techniques for visualizing flow fields directly, there is strong demand for methods that uncover hidden flow structures. %as well as the structural changes due to parameter variations. Some recently developed feature based visual analysis methods are exemplarily presented. Fluid flow data typically are large and often are stored remotely or distributedly. The interactive visual analysis of such large data sets requires new software architectures -- ideally utilizing emerging Grid standards. We discuss such architectures and report on specific realizations in the framework of the visualization system Amira.}, day = {11 - 12}, keywords = {flow visualization, vector fields, feature extraction, topology, distributed systems, Grid technology}, url = {http://tinoweinkauf.net/publications/abshege04.html}, }
