Understanding the Structure of the Turbulent Mixing Layer in Hydrodynamic Instabilities
10.1109/TVCG.2006.186
When a heavy fluid is placed above a light fluid, tiny vertical perturbations in the interface create a characteristic structure of rising bubbles and falling spikes known as Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities have received much attention over the past half-century because of their importance in...

Using Difference Intervals for Time-Varying Isosurface Visualization
10.1109/TVCG.2006.188
We present a novel approach to out-of-core time-varying isosurface visualization. We attempt to interactively visualize time-varying datasets which are too large to fit into main memory using a technique which is dramatically different from existing algorithms. Inspired by video encoding techniques, we examine the data...

Visual Exploration of Complex Time-Varying Graphs

Many graph drawing and visualization algorithms, such as force-directed layout and line-dot rendering, work very well on relatively small and sparse graphs. However, they often produce extremely tangled results and exhibit impractical running times for highly non-planar graphs with large edge density. And very few grap...
