Vector fields are a common concept for the representation of many different kinds of flow
phenomena in science and engineering. Methods based on vector field topology are known …

This paper presents the state of the art in the area of topology‐based visualization. It
describes the process and results of an extensive annotation for generating a definition and …

This paper presents a method for filtered ridge extraction based on adaptive mesh
refinement. It is applicable in situations where the underlying scalar field can be refined …

The aim of this paper is to make use of PIV and high-speed PIV in a research engine of
moderate tumbling ratio in order to analyze both the spatial structure of the flow and its …

Modern unsteady (multi-) field visualizations require an effective reduction of the data to be
displayed. From a huge amount of information the most informative parts have to be …

Vector fields are a common concept for the representation of many different kinds of flow

Sets of simulation runs based on parameter and model variation, so-called ensembles, are
increasingly used to model physical behaviors whose parameter space is too large or …

Fluid mechanics considers two frames of reference for an observer watching a flow field:
Eulerian and Lagrangian. The former is the frame of reference traditionally used for flow …

We propose efficient Eulerian methods for approximating the finite-time Lyapunov exponent
(FTLE). The idea is to compute the related flow map using the Level Set Method and the …

Abstract The Finite-time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) is a measure for the rate of separation
of particles in time-dependent flow fields. It provides a valuable tool for the analysis of …
