Visualization: Isosurfaces |
Visualization of 3D flow fields is a dark art. Consider these two visualization of the same uEQ8, or "hairpin vortex" equilibrium solution: | ||
fixed sections of the Eulerian velocity field u = (u,v,w) |
isosurfaces, vortex lines | |
Itano and Generalis visualization: yellow curves: vortex lines. isosurfaces of ux = 0.1 and 0.4, (cyan and blue, respectively) reveal low-speed structures within the flow. |
