Abstract

Multifields datasets are common in a large number of research and engineering applications of computational science. The effective visualization of the corresponding datasets can facilitate their analysis by elucidating the complex and dynamic interactions that exist between the attributes that describe the physics of the phenomenon. We present in this paper a new hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian model that extends existing Lagrangian visualization techniques to the analysis of multifields problems. In particular, our approach factors in the entire data space to reveal the structure of multifield datasets, thereby combining both Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives. We evaluate our technique in the context of several fluid dynamics applications. Our results indicate that our proposed approach is able to characterize important structural features that are missed by existing methods.
