Objective Observer-Relative Flow Visualization in Curved Spaces for Unsteady 2D Geophysical Flows
• P. Rautek, +4 authors M. Hadwiger
• Computer Science, Medicine
• IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
• 2021
This work develops a general mathematical framework for the objective computation of observer fields for curved spaces, relative to which other computed measures become objective, and develops the case of unsteady 2D geophysical flows given on spheres, such as the Earth. Expand
Vector Field Topology of Time-Dependent Flows in a Steady Reference Frame
• Computer Science, Medicine
• IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
• 2020
This work builds up on recent work on vortex extraction to define a time-dependent vector field topology for 2D and 3D flows and compares and discusses the relationships with existing local and integration-based topology extraction methods, showing for instance that separatrices seeded from saddles in the optimal frame align with the Integration-based streakline vector fieldTopology.
