“…The visualization of CFD results, by means of direct visualization methods, produces an image which is a global representation of the flow. For example, Ono et al have used volume rendering methods to visualize the results of a numerical simulation of the heat flow in the interior of an automobile [Ono et al 2001].…”

Multiple everyday life situations involve cavity flows. Because of its unstable aspect, this phenomenon represents an issue of the utmost seriousness for physicists. This paper describes the design of a system dedicated to interactive analysis of results of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. This approach aims at assisting expert users in their analysis in a virtual immersive environment. The proposed solution counts two main steps. In the first one, while moving a 3D cursor, the user explores the space of the simulation in order to locate potential areas of interest. During this exploration, for each position of the cursor, the flowlines starting from the vicinity of this position are rendered in real time. Based on his/her expertise, the user has to decide which areas may present a particular interest for the geometry (morphology) of the flow. Each area selected in the first step is examined in detail in the second step. During this second step a single flowline (detailing the variation of the flow velocity) starting from the position selected by the user is rendered. This step helps at clarifying, analyzing in detail, a characteristic sensed by the intermediate of the first step. Here, instead of an algorithm, the expert user has to decide whether the rendered flowline is relevant or not for the construction of the geometry of the flow. All the flowlines selected by the user are the elements that constitute the geometry of the studied flow.

“…Volume rendering method was commonly used in visualizing the 3D flow. The thermal flow visualization in an automotive cabin (Ono et al, 2001) is an application study of visualizing 3D flow data by using the volume rendering method. Unlike the classic glyphs that display direction, flow radar glyphs (Hlawatch et al, 2011) integrated the idea of radar display to visualize unsteady flow where the direction and time are displayed by angle and spherical coordinates respectively.…”
