Cooperative Visualization of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

Tempus Fugit/Interview is a computational fluid dynamics visualization application for which processing is distributed between high performance graphics workstations and supercomputers. Facilities are provided in the application for more than one user to view shared images creating a cooperative visualization environment. The way in which the computation is partitioned between the super computer and the workstations is critical to the capability of the application to present simultaneous, identical, animated images of fluid dynamics to more than one user.
