With increasing computing power, it is possible to process more complex fluid simulations.
However, a gap between increasing data size and our ability to visualize them still remains …

Characteristic curves of vector fields include stream, path, and streak lines. Stream and path
lines can be obtained by a simple vector field integration of an autonomous ODE system, ie …

Stream surfaces are an intuitive approach to represent 3D vector fields. In many cases,
however, they are challenging objects to visualize and to understand, due to a high degree …

In this paper we present techniques for the visualization of unsteady flows using streak
surfaces, which allow for the first time an adaptive integration and rendering of such surfaces …

Vector field visualization research has evolved very rapidly over the last two decades. There
is growing consensus amongst the research community that the challenge of two …

Streak surfaces are among the most important features to support 3D unsteady flow
exploration, but they are also among the computationally most demanding. Furthermore, to …

We present a new efficient and scalable method for the high quality reconstruction of the
flow map from sparse samples. The flow map describes the transport of massless particles …

When vector field topology is used for the visualization of a 3D vector field, various types of
topological features have uniquely defined stream surfaces associated with them …

We present a semi-automatic approach for stream surface generation. Our approach is
based on the conjecture that good seeding curves can be inferred from a set of streamlines …

We present an algorithm that allows stream surfaces to recognize and adapt to vector field
topology. Standard stream surface algorithms either refine the surface uncontrolled near …
