Scientific volume visualization addresses the representation, manipulation, and rendering of volumetric data sets, providing mechanisms for looking closely into structures and understanding their complexity and dynamics. In the past several years, a tremendous amount of research and development has been directed toward algorithms and data modeling methods for a scientific data visualization. But there has been very little work on developing a mathematical volume model that feeds this visualization. Especially, in flow visualization, the volume model has long been required as a guidance to display the very large amounts of data resulting from numerical simulations. In this paper, we focus on the mathematical representation of volumetric data sets and the method of extracting meaningful information from the derived volume model. For this purpose, a B-spline volume is extended to a high dimensional trivariate model which is called as a flow visualization model in this paper. Two three-dimensional examples are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of this model.

A flow visualization near submerged nozzle of solid rocket motor was conducted by experiments. A numerical simulation was also performed to reveal detailed phenomena. Radial cold flow simulating hot gas was introduced by a porous grain model which was manufactured by perforated steel plates. The grain model was mounted in high-pressure chamber which has quartz glass at the top of the grain model. From the high-speed images, a rotating vortex was observed and the two type of counter-rotating momentums were generated in numerical results. The rotating momentum was generated at the fin-slot grain because of unbalance between high-velocity flow from slots and low-velocity flow from fin-bases. As a result, roll torques can be produced by the rotating vortex tube.

various applications is presented. It is based on rapid-prototyping of transparent model for flow visualization and on the use of refractive index matching that enables efficient and clear visualization of the flow inside the model. The model is immersed in the index-matching fluid in a glass tank so that any displacement and rotation of the model in the tank have no influence on the optical setup for image acquisition to be made through a glass wall. This can facilitate greatly the camera calibration for stereo PIV and 3-D PTV. As the flow model is generated directly from 3-D surface data, no laborious preparation of the flow model is needed. This approach for seamless linking of model generation and PIV measurement is applicable to various flow measurements in automobile, ship building, fluid machinery, turbine, electrical appliances, heat exchanger, electronic cooling, bio-engineering and so on.

A flow visualization has been conducted to investigate unsteady flight characteristics of a model of dragonfly. The mechanism of lift generation by flapping wings is analyzed using smoke-wire and high speed camera. The experimental results of flow visualization show a discernible sequential dynamics that three mechanisms and high incidence angle of the wings are responsible for the lift generation. The leading edge vortex by the rapid acceleration of leading edge of the wing during initial stage of stroke causes a strong lift enhancement. Delayed stall during the stroke, fast supination and pronation of the wing near the end of each stroke are also responsible for the lift generation.

In the present study, we investigate the flow separation characteristics of a paraglider canopy model by tuft visualization. The experiment is conducted at Re = 3.3×105 in a wind tunnel large enough to contain the three-dimensional paraglider canopy model, where Re is Reynolds number based on the mean chord length and the free-stream velocity. The flow separation characteristics of the canopy model near the wing root are similar to those of a two-dimensional airfoil with a cross-section similar to the model. On the other hand, near the wingtip region, the flow separation is suppressed by the downwash induced by the wingtip vortex. As a result, as the angle of attack increases, the flow separation occurs from the wing root region of the canopy model and develops toward the wingtip.

Plate-fin heat exchanger is a kind of compact heat exchangers with a good performance in heat transfer. It is widely used in various engineering fields such as aerospace, chemical and biomedical industries. Quantitative and qualitative flow visualization study were performed using the water model of commercial plate-fin heat exchanger with header angles of $30^{\circ}$. The Reynolds number was 100. Conventional digital particle image velocimetry was used to measure the instantaneous velocity fields of the header region and the flow visualization using dye injection and hydrogen bubble method were applied to capture the qualitative flow characteristics. The results showed the existence of separation flow region at the junction area and the bottom wall of the exit region.

The inlet flow of centrifugal blower were quantitatively visualized using particle image velocimetry. Because the centrifugal blower system is one of the key parts of EV battery cooling system, the quantitative information of flow field of centrifugal blower is important to design and optimize the cooling system. Two types of inlet parts were used in this study. One is the straight inlet and the other is a bended one. The results showed the flow asymmetry exists in the straight model due to the pressure difference in the blower. In case of the bended one, the separation bubble and the increase of head loss appeared compared with the straight model.

In this paper, computational aeroacoustics (CAA) method is used for flow-noise analysis and flow-noise visualization. High order high resolution scheme of optimized high order compact is used to resolve the small acoustic quantities and large flow quantities at the same time. An adaptive nonlinear artificial dissipation model and generalized characteristic boundary condition are also used. Aeolion tone noise, cavity noise, and jet noise are investigated. The visualizations of flow-noise are successful and characteristics of noise are studied. It is observed that the propagation directivity of noise is different with that of flow. With the help of CAA method, the visualization of noise is possible.

We are planning to construct a scaled-down moderator facility to simulate the CANDU-6 moderator circulation phenomena during steady state operating and accident conditions. In the present work a preliminary experiment using a 1/40 scaled-down moderator tank has been performed to investigate the anticipated problems of the flow visualization and measurement in the planning scaled-down moderator facility. We shortly describe CFD analysis result for the 1/40 scaled-down test model and the flow measurement techniques used for this test facility under isothermal flow conditions. The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method is used to visualize and measure the velocity field of water in a transparent Plexiglas tank. Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) technique is used to evaluate the feasibility of temperature field measurement in the range of $20-40^{\circ}C$ of water temperature using an one-color method.

Flow structure inside a refrigerating compartment of a scale-down display cooler model was investigated experimentally by using PIV (particle image velocimetry) method, a reliable velocity field measurement technique, in the present study. In addition, we also carried out flow visualization regarding flow structure and particle movement inside a display cooler by using a tracer method. As a result, the mean velocity field measurement shows a large scale vortical flow structure inside a refrigerating compartment due to strong entrainment flow, going through a base plate open gaps.
