IEEE Computer Graphics and ApplicationsVisualizing vector field topology in fluid flows

470 Citations1991James L. Helman, L. Hesselink

Methods for automating the analysis and display of vector fieldTopology in general, and flow topology in particular, are described, finding that by using techniques to extract and visualize topological information, it is possible to combine the simplicity of schematic depictions with the quantitative accuracy of curves and surfaces computed directly from the data.

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer GraphicsSpeeding up isosurface extraction using interval trees

183 Citations1997Paolo Cignoni, Pablo Pavón‐Mariño +3 more

The interval tree is an optimally efficient search structure proposed by Edelsbrunner (1980) to retrieve intervals on the real line that contain a given query value and the application of such a data structure to the fast location of cells intersected by an isosurface in a volume dataset is proposed.

Automatic detection of open and closed separation and attachment lines

87 Citations1998David Kenwright

The results show that the phase-plane algorithm not only detects the standard closed separation lines but also the illusive open separation lines which are not captured by flow topology methods.

Computers & GraphicsTopology preserving data simplification with error bounds

76 Citations1998Chandrajit Bajaj, Daniel R. Schikore

This work presents an approach to simplification of scalar fields over unstructured grids which preserves the topology of functions defined over the triangulation, in addition to bounding of the errors.

14th Computational Fluid Dynamics ConferenceUsing residence time for the extraction of recirculation regions

21 Citations1999Robert Haimes

The concept of residence-time, from the Eulerian view point, is introduced, in a rigorous manner, for extracting recirculation regions by segregating old fluid from fluid that has not been in the simulation for much time.
