The course will provide an introduction to the specific methodology and the algorithms used to visualize the fluid flow datasets produced by large-scale computer simulations in multifaceted engineering problems ranging from automotive industry, aeronautics, and aerospace to bioengineering and urban planning. All the major advanced flow visualization approaches, including recent results, will be covered: streamline-based techniques and stream surfaces, texture-based and dense methods, topological methods, feature-based approaches, Lagrangian methods. This seminar will be organized around lectures and reporting sessions. The latter will focus on algorithmic aspects involved in the implementation of the visualization methods presented in class and offer an opportunity to discuss and compare results. The programming assignments will be done using The Visualization Toolkit and will require to extend existing visualization modules.
