LARGE MULTIDIMENSIONAL DATA VISUALIZATION FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE

摘要

Materials scientists use scientific visualization to explore very large multidimensional data sets. The Atomsviewer visualization system enables telepresence and provides multimodal views of simulation data. How does a crack propagate in a composite material? How does a highspeed projectile interact with its target? And how can we use this knowledge to make fracture- and impact-resistant materials? Materials science poses such questions, and we can answer them by simulating materials on supercomputers and analyzing their properties. Scientific visualization is an excellent tool in this analysis, and researchers have developed systems to explore very large, multidimensional data sets from materials simulations in immersive and interactive environments.
