Flow Visualization System

Product Description

VR FLO VIZ is a virtual wind tunnel. It converts Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) data sets to the VR FLO VIZ format, performs realtime integration to calculate flow lines, navigates and renders the virtual viewpoint, and performs other scalar operations required for flow visualization. The 5DT Data Glove 5 is used as the main input device for the system. A tracker, mounted on the glove, measures the position and orientation of the user's hand. The user navigates within the data set with gestures. These gestures may activate specific functions, e.g. single flow lines, linear arrays of flow lines or 2-D arrays of flow lines. The data set may be viewed with a Head Mounted Display (HMD) (Immersive Virtual Reality) or on a Computer Monitor (Desktop Virtual Reality).

The data set is viewed on a normal computer monitor. The user navigates within the data set with a data glove.
Desktop Virtual Reality Setup The data set is viewed with a head mounted display (hmd). The user experiences the flow field as if he/she is within the flow field. the user navigates within the data set with a data glove.
Immersive Virtual Reality Setup A linear array of flow lines ('rake') is activated to view the flow (in a single plane) over an airfoil section. the airfoil surface is colored by pressure. The scalar planes are colored by turbulent viscosity. The animated streamlines are colored by speed.
Flow Over Airfoil Surface (2-D) Close-up of a linear array of flow lines ('rake') over an airfoil surface. Turbulence is starting to occur at the back of the airfoil. The animated streamlines are colored in speed, whilst the airfoil surface is colored in pressure.

Flow Visualization in an Elbow Duct - 2 An 'inside view' (zoomed view) of flow in the elbow duct. A linear array of flow lines ('rake') has been activated with the data glove. Velocity-mapped flow vectors are also shown in the structure.The walls are color-mapped according to pressure.
Flow Visualization in an Elbow Duct - 3 An 'inside view' of flow in the elbow duct. A single flow line has been activated with the data glove. Several parameter values are shown on a label at the activation point. Note that four separate flow lines have already been 'placed' (stored) in the structure. Velocity-mapped flow vectors are also shown in the structure.
Flow Visualization in an Elbow Duct - 4 A linear array of flow lines ('rake') is activated to view the flow through a heat sink in an electronic enclosure. Note that another linear array of flow lines has already been 'placed' (stored) in the assembly. The walls are colored by temperature, the animated streamlines colored by speed, and the scalar planes are also colored by speed.
Flow Visualization in a Heat Sinking Assembly A linear array of flow lines ('rake') is activated to view the flow in a quench header. The animated streamlines and the scalar plane are colored by speed.
