Translucent Visual Analysis of Large Scale 3D Point Data Generated by Particle Fluid Simulation of Tsunami Water

Abstract

Abstract. Particle simulation is a powerful method to study the dynamic behavior of fluids. In this method, fluids are modeled as systems of small particles with the proper physical properties. Large-scale 3D point data are often obtained as a result of particle simulations. In this paper, we visualize the data using particle-based rendering, which we recently proposed. The idea is to utilize the 3D points directly as the rendering primitives, which we call "particles". Based on this scheme, we can generate quick and high-quality visualization of large-scale particle simulations. Moreover, we can easily fuse objects surrounding or underlying the simulated fluid. It is also possible to fuse multiple physical values, for example, the velocity and vorticity of the simulated fluid. We demonstrate our method by applying it to a large-scale tsunami run-up simulation for the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011.

“…Results were shown using Virtual LHD software, which could show magnetic field line, particle trajectory, and isosurface of plasma pressure of the device. [13] Tanaka K. et al [14] proposed a particle-based rendering method by using 3D points directly as rendering primitives, which can generate quick and high-quality visualization of largescale particle simulations and easily fuse surrounding objects, underlying the simulated fluid or multiple physical values. In our research, the magnetic field lines are also described as sets Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering of points.…”
