Molecular dynamics simulations are a principal tool for studying molecular systems. Such simulations are used to investigate molecular structure, dynamics, and thermodynamical properties, as well as a replacement for, or ...

We introduce a novel texture-based volume rendering approach that achieves the image quality of the best post-shading approaches with far less slices. It is suitable for new flexible consumer graphics hardware and provides ...

While interactive visualization of rectilinear gridded volume data sets can now be accomplished using texture mapping hardware on commodity PCs, interactive rendering and exploration of large scattered or unstructured data ...

Advection has been the standard transport mechanism in flow visualization. Diffusion, in contrast, has not been considered important in visual flow field analysis so far, although it is inherent to many physical processes. ...

Many biochemical and biomedical applications like protein engineering or drug design are concerned with finding functionally similar proteins, however, this remains to be a challenging task. We present a new imaged-based ...

These days sparse grids are of increasing interest in numerical simulations. Based upon hierarchical tensor product bases, the sparse grid approach is a very e cient one improving the ratio of invested storage and computing ...

For the visualization of volume data the application of transfer functions is used widely. In this area the preintegration technique allows high quality visualizations and the application of arbitrary transfer functions. ...

Wavelets and related multiscale representations are important means for edge detection and processing as well as for segmentation and registration. Due to the computational complexity of these approaches no interactive ...

Finite element methods commonly use unstructured grids as the computational domain. As a matter of fact, the volume visualization of these unstructured grids is a time consuming task. Here, the fastest known object order ...

Since crash-worthiness simulations get more and more important as part of the car development process in order to reduce the cost of development, enhance the product quality, and minimize the time-to-market, the reliability ...
