Traditionally, Lagrangian fields such as finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) are precomputed on a discrete grid and are ray casted afterwards. This, however, introduces both grid discretization errors and sampling errors ...

Inertial particles are finite-sized objects traveling with a certain velocity that differs from the underlying carrying flow, i.e., they are mass-dependent and subject to inertia. Their backward integration is in practice ...

The visual analysis of flows with inertial particle trajectories is a challenging problem because time-dependent particle trajectories additionally depend on mass, which gives rise to an infinite number of possible ...

Displaying geometry in flow visualization is often accompanied by occlusion problems, making it difficult to perceive information that is relevant in the respective application. In a recent technique, named opacity ...

Recent research in flow visualization is focusing on the analysis of time-dependent, but mass-less particles. However, in many application scenarios, the mass of particles - and their resulting inertia - is essential in ...

Vector field topology is a powerful and matured tool for the study of the asymptotic behavior of tracer particles in steady flows. Yet, it does not capture the behavior of finite-sized particles, because they develop inertia ...
