Flow Visualization on Hierarchical Cartesian Grids

Due to the limitations of the traditional finite volume CFD approach modern Lattice-Boltzmann methods are becoming more and more widespread. The results of developing an efficient visualization and exploration tool based on the Lattice-Boltzmann solver PowerFlow are summarized here to give the reader a basic insight into the pros and cons of such an approach. Also, the implementation of an automotive soiling simulation, which has been incorporated into the visualization tool, is presented here
