Author_Institution :
NASA Ames Res. Center, Moffett Field, CA, USA
Abstract :
Work in progress on a virtual environment designed for the visualization of pre-computed fluid flows is described. The overall problems involved in the visualization of fluid flow are summarized, including computational, data management, and interface issues. Requirements for a flow visualization are summarized. Many aspects of the implementation of the virtual windtunnel have been uniquely determined by these requirements. The user interface is described in detail
