Description
We present our submission to the SciVis Data Contest 2016. Our submission was a web-based tool for the visual analysis of multi-run fluid flow simulation data. The tool enables the summarization and comparison of ensemble simulation runs. The back-end implements an algorithm for the identification and tracking of features (viscous fingers and their properties) in transient, fluid flow simulations. The front-end allows users to explore 3D simulation run data using linked 3D views and vertical slabs for specific timesteps, a merge-tree view linked to these spatial representations, and Kiviat diagrams for exploring run properties. We evaluate the tool with a computational fluid dynamics expert and report his feedback.
