Abstract:
Scientists use a variety of visualization techniques to help understand computational fluid dynamics (CFD) datasets, but the interfaces to these techniques are generally twodimensional and therefore separated from the 3D view. Both rapid interactive exploration of datasets and precise control over the parameters and placement of visualization techniques are required to understand complex phenomena contained in these datasets. In this paper, we present work in progress on a 3D user interface for exploratory visualization of these datasets. KEYWORDS: 3D user interface, scientific visualization. INTRODUCTION Computational fluid dynamics techniques are used to simulate flows of fluids like air and water around modeled objects. Althoughthese simulation methods are cheaper and less timeconsuming than actual physical tests in wind tunnels, the large amount of numerical data they generate is difficult to visualize. We have developed a set of 3D interface techniques (or widgets [2]) that ar...
