With the introduction of
computer simulation and our ability to generate
enormous amount of data,
visualization becomes a sine qua non component in
any scientific research. Our work over the summer was
to combine the power
of a large parallel
computer environment and the graphics acceleration
hardware of a local
workstation, to device efficient techniques for
visualizing data generated
by the "Numerical Simulation of a
Laboratory-Scale Turbulent
V-Flame" by J.B. Bell et al. These researchers
are interested in further
analysis of parameters such as flame front
curvature and flame surface
density, both of which are very difficult to
achieve experimentally, and
where 3D visualization can bring them closer to
the answer. Thus, our work focuses on specific
visualization needs for this
particular research but is
general enough to serve as guidelines for any
scientific research with large dataset.
