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.
Vortex core detection with streamline visualization.
Volume visualization of vorticity magnitude in helical flow.
