Title:

Vector Field Visualization

Abstract:

This talk will examine some of the issues involved in visualizing vector fields, and particularly flow fields, in the context of current research by the Scientific Computation and Ground-water Research Groups. A brief introduction will first outline the unique difficulties involved in the current problem, and then review common techniques for vector field visualization, along with their strengths and weaknesses.

The second section will outline work being done on a software package, "Tetravect", which is being developed to address this problem and as a test bed for new visualization ideas and techniques.
