Image-based flow visualization
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Scientific_visualization/p0yPc1X5">scientific visualization</a>, image-based flow visualization (or visualisation) is a computer modelling technique developed by <a href="/facts/Jarke_van_Wijk/dDEbmWaz">Jarke van Wijk</a> to visualize two dimensional flows of liquids such as water and air, like the wind movement of a <a href="/facts/Tornado/HSGNQzHa">tornado</a>. Compared with integration techniques it has the advantage of producing a whole image at every step, as the technique relies upon graphical computing methods for frame-by-frame capture of the model of advective transport of a decaying dye. It is a method from the <a href="/facts/Texture_advection/1vB5mR42">texture advection</a> family. </p>
