Presentation and Exploration of Flow Data

Computers have caused a revolution in many research fields. The ability to do calculations several orders of magnitude faster compared to human calculators has enabled researchers to employ large-scale numerical models in addition to the use of physical experiments and analytic methods. Numerical methods can be applied to problems where an analytical solution is impossible. When part of the work of a researcher is taken over by a computer, the problem of in- and output arises. The problem has to be communicated to the computer and the solution has to be communicated back to the user. The output of a numerical simulation usually consists of a very large amount of data. Effective communication of this data is of prime importance to the useful application of computers.
