| Abstract: | The article presents information on flow visualization. Visualization has become an essential part of scientific and engineering practice to help analyze the massive data fields being generated from supercomputer simulations and laboratory observations. Physical models often cannot be solved analytically. Thus, discrete methods such as finite-element, finite-difference, or finite-volume methods are often used to numerically solve systems of partial differential equations. These methods are based on defining a computational grid. Approximate equations are specified, resulting in a system of equations that can be solved numerically at each grid node. |
