Hurricane Visualization Using Anisotropic Diffusion and Volume Rendering

To provide an effective visualization of three-dimensional timevarying vector fields is one of the current challenges in scientific visualization. In this poster, we propose and study methods and strategies for more effective visualization of three-dimensional vector fields using anisotropic diffusion and volume rendering. The dataset used is a simulation of the hurricane Isabel. Anisotropic diffusion is computationally intensive and requires, for large datasets, the use of HPC.
