Flow simulation for vector field visualization on unstructured meshes
The development of common characteristics abstracted from flow phenomena is important to enhance computer simulation efficiency and reduce repeated work. In this paper, a hiberarchy of flow simulation is presented firstly. It is intended to provide reusable software components to various professional areas in order to effectively achieve vector field visualization, provided that related parameters are appropriately imported. A simulation algorithm, considering of some exceptional analysis, is introduced which depends on vector fields designed in discrete, unstructured mesh TIN-surface or TEN-solid. Furthermore, we present a concrete example to demonstrate the application of the proposed method to groundwater simulation for Beijing plain area, China. It shows that the method is fast and steady to simulate and visualize the flow phenomena.
