As commercial game engines become available to the public, attempts have been made to use it for general purpose research. This study uses the game engine to develop a medical simulation. Specifically, when the user selects an important portion of the human body, the focus+context visualization is applied to the volume data. We proposes the accumulation based method to make the background part more transparent and naturally fuse it with the focus part. Since the proposed method combines well with the existing volume visualization, the virtual surgery function such as incision is performed smoothly. The game engine is useful for general-purpose research, because auxiliary functions such as collision handling and UI can be efficiently created with the help of it.

A gas turbine is the main equipment of a power plant that generates electricity by high-speed rotation of the rotor in a high-temperature environment. In particular, in the case of medium to large-sized gas turbines, the rotor is composed of a plurality of stages, and each component is exposed to different physical environments. Especially, in the case of the tip clearance of the turbine, it is a very important factor in the performance of the design items and the operation of the stable turbine, and a design considering the physical behavior of all major parts should be done. In this study, we will discuss the process of visualizing the physical behavior of turbine operating conditions and the method of designing tip clearance for stable operation by using commercial finite element analysis program for gas turbine assembly model and single product.

In this study, we proposed Interactive Visualization methods that can be analyzed relations between nations in various viewpoints such as period, issue using total 5211 of the UN General Assembly voting data.For this research, we devised a similarity matrix between nations and developed two visualization method based similarity matrix. The first one is Network Graph Visualization that can be showed relations between nations which participated in the vote of the UN General Assembly like Social Network Graph by year. and the second one is Proximity based Circular Visualization that can be analyzed relations between nations focus on one nation or Changes in voting patterns between nations according to time. This study have a great signification. that's because we proposed Proximity based Circular Visualization methods which merged Line and Circle Graph for network analysis that never tried from other cases of studies that utilize conventional voting data and made it. We also derived co-operatives of each visualization through conducting a comparative experiment for the two visualization. As a research result, we found that Proximity based Circular Visualization can be better analysis each node and Network Graph Visualization can be better analysis patterns for the nations.

Exter ballistics of a typical high-speed projectile is studied through a flow-visualization experiment and an unstructured grid Navier-Srokes computation. Experiment produced a schlieren photograph that adequately shows the characteristic features of this complex flow, namely two kinds of oblique cone shocks and turbulent wake developing into the downstream. A hybrid scheme of finite volume-element method is used to simulate the compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stok- es solution on unstructured grids. Osher's approximate Riemann solver is used to discretize the cinvection term. Higher-order spatial accuracy is obtained by MUSCL extension and van Albada ty- pe flux limiter is used to stabilize the numerical oscillation near the solution discontinuity. Accurate Gakerkin method is used to discretize the viscous term. Explict fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is used for the time-stepping, which simplifies the application of MUSCL extension. A two-layer k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model is used to simulate the turbulent wakes accurately. Axisymmetric folw and two-dimensional flow with an angle of attack have been computed. Grid-dependency is also checked by carrying out the computation with doubled meshes. 2-D calculation shows that effect of angle of attack on the flow field is negligible. Axi-symmetric results of the computation agrees well with the flow visualization. Primary oblique shock is represented within 2-3 meshes in numerical results, and the varicose mode of the vortex shedding is clearly captured in the turbulent wake region.

A numerical and experimental flow visualization study of the louvered fin array, commonly used in a compact heat exchanger was performed. The flow structure which was obtained by using a finite difference method, was compared with an experimental result. The experimental flow visualization was performed by using a dye injection technique with 13:1 scale model. The effects of Reynolds number and fin geometries on flow structure and heat transfer were examined.

It costs high in both memory usage and time consuming to sample the space to compute charge density and calculate electric field on that with large size of plasma data. In real-time and interactive application, accelerating the compute time is critical problem. In this paper, we suggest new method to visualize electric field by using convolution theorem, and the parallel computing to accelerate computing time by using GPGPU. We conduct a simulation that compare running time between the methods with convolution and without convolution. We discussed the method of visualization of multivariate data in three dimensional space using colored volume rendering and surface construction.

Some classical plots like scatterplot matrices and parallel coordinates are valuable tools for data visualization. These tools are extensively used in the modern data mining softwares to explore the inherent data structure, and hence to visually classify or cluster the database into appropriate groups. However, the interpretation of these plots are very sensitive to the arrangement of variables. In this work, we introduce two methods to arrange the variables for data visualization. First method is based on the work of Wegman (1999), and this is to arrange the variables using minimum distance among all the pairwise permutation of the variables. Second method is using the idea of principal components. We Investigate the effectiveness of these methods with parallel coordinates using real data sets, and show that each of the two proposed methods has its own strength from different aspects respectively.

The flowfield of Weis-Fogh type ship's Propulsion is visualized by numerical simulations using the discrete vortex method and by the hydrogen bubble technique. The simulations are performed by assuming that the separations occur at the trailing edge of the wing. The streak lines and time lines are calculated by introducing the tracers at adequate intervals. They agree well with experimental results. The flowfield is unsteady and complex, but the properties of the flow are clarified by numerical and experimental visualization.

Laminar flow and heat transfer in a channel with blockages are obtained numerically in a Reynolds-number range of $100{\leq}Re{\leq}400$. A boundary-fitted curvilinear coordinate system is generated for irregular boundary of the physical region, and solutions of Navier-Stokes equation and energy equation are obtained by finite analytic method in the transformed computational domain. The flow separates in downstream of the blockage and the length of separated-flow region increases with Reynolds number. The heat flux is high on the top of the blockages and increase in the heat transfer occurs where the fluid reattaches the wall. Comparison between computed streamlines and experimental flow-visualization is also presented and discussed.

In this paper the numerical method with a zonal embedded grid system for an incompressible flow within a semi-circular container is presented. The algorithm is validated by its application to some typical flow models including the spin-up flow inside a semi-circular geometry. Flow visualization for the spin-up flows was used by PIV. The results show that at high Reynolds numbers the cyclonic cell at the left-hand side region moves along the circular wall and merges with the cell at the right-hand side region.
