Abstract

We will describe in this article some simple visualization techniques that may be used to explore dynamic 3D scalar fields in an interactive way. Scalar data are assumed to have been already computed, and graphic manipulations are done afterwards on a graphics workstation. Structured grids (finite difference grids) are used, leading to an easy and fast exploration of the interior of a volume. Smooth animation and simultaneous visualization of two or three scalar fields are also described. We have tested our methods on various types of data issuing from different fields of petroleum engineering, i.e. oil reservoir simulation, geophysics, geology and combustion engine simulations.A demonstration videotape is available.
