Summary
Visualizing unsteady 3D flow structures is the topic. A student learns about techniques for visualizing isolated flow structures in time-dependent data.
Visualizing vortex ropes
Flow structures in water turbines are the focus. The vortex rope is a rotating helical structure in the draft tube of a water turbine. It is characterized by high values of normalized helicity.
Visualizing cavitation regions
Cavitation regions near the runner blades of a Kaplan turbine and a water pump are described. The flow structure of interest is defined by low pressure values. The goal is to visualize these regions.
Particle seeding scheme
A particle seeding scheme based on quasi-random numbers is proposed. This scheme minimizes visual artifacts such as clusters or patterns. The scheme constrains the visualization to a region of interest.
Reducing occlusion problems
Occlusion problems are reduced by constraining the visualization. Storage efficiency is gained. The technique is applied to industrial applications.
