“…Visualization can be in the form of two-dimensional or threedimensional wind vector fields, streamtubes, or other volumetric indicators. For example, in [24] hazardous regions of turbulent air were rendered as translucent volumes in a display to assist helicopter pilots during ship deck landing.…”

This paper presents a software pipeline that enables simulating a quadrotor’s flight in realistic urban wind fields where complex wind phenomena are common and have significant impact on vehicle dynamics. The pipeline integrates the OpenStreetMap database for obtaining real-world building geometry, the OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for computing a three-dimensional, steady, wind field, the Gazebo robotics simulation environment, and the PX4 software-in-the-loop autopilot. A 3D wind plugin is developed to interpolate a pre-computed CFD wind field at runtime during the simulation. The approach is demonstrated by comparing the flight performance of a quadrotor flying over a university campus environment with and without the wind field.

“…The authors found this technique suitable in the area of avionics, especially when the aircraft in interacting with fluid and its responses in real-time can be simulated and visualised in synthetic vision. Aragon 8 has carried out studies with and without visual hazard indicators for crash analysis and also demonstrates that simple and static visualisations yield improved performance on safety-critical tasks. To design a system, which can not only perform dynamic simulation and visualisation, but which can be mapped into real world, in real-time, and can also handle interaction with flow using computational steering technique, has been described.…”

“…To counteract such degradation, augmented displays are proposed to enhance the necessary visual cues back to the scene. The studies 8 demonstrate that such a visualisation cockpit decisionsupport system significantly improves the performance of helicopter pilots during landing under turbulent conditions. Their proposed plan focuses on a simulated-assisted reality system for aerial vehicles using 3-D to provide pilots with clear and intuitive means of understanding their flying environment.…”

The existing techniques in the context of fluid modelling and simulation have been reviewed. Generic framework that enables an easy integration of various modules has been developed, extending the work to real-time simulation and visualisation, and developed user interaction during run-time using the concept of computational steering. In the generic framework developed, a new class of visualisation technique that simplifies the visualisation tasks of a scientist has been identified. Investigating these techniques is important as the tools such as visualisation tool kit (VTK) and VTK designer are freely available (Open Source) and easy to integrate. A technique for interactive visualisation of the free surface flow, that introduces the concepts of geometrical steering and properties steering, has been developed. These techniques constitute computational steering. The concept of real-time interactive scientific visualisation using a surface flow application has been demonstrated. As a proof of concept, the behaviour of flow is simulated and visualised during training in a virtual environment on a desktop computer. It is expected that the generic framework, device, interface, and simulation engine, used in this work will not only have a significant impact in the area of free surface flow, but also in real-time applications such as synthetic vision in avionics. The underlying formulation/methodology involved in parametric approach is explained.
