ABSTRACT
One popular area of research in data visualization is using streamlines to display flow fields, which depict the movement of fluids through a space. Most of the research to date has focused on external visualizations; that is, observing flow fields from outside the boundaries of the data set (e.g., Tao et al. [2013]). This research explores the efficacy of visualizing flow fields internally using an algorithm we developed to automatically compute paths through flow field interiors that provide a high degree of useful information.

Comparative Flow Visualization
There are many situations where one needs to compare two or more data sets. It may be to compare different models, different resolutions, differences in algorithms, different experimental results, etc. There is therefore a need for comparative ...
Asymmetric Tensor Field Visualization for Surfaces
Asymmetric tensor field visualization can provide important insight into fluid flows and solid deformations. Existing techniques for asymmetric tensor fields focus on the analysis, and simply use evenly-spaced hyperstreamlines on surfaces following ...
