Application of Flow Visualization

Flow visualization is the art of making invisible fluid flow patterns visible using special experimental or computational methods, as fluids like air and water are normally transparent. Historically, ink was spilled in water but now computational simulations generate huge data on flows in engineering applications like car air conditioning systems. Flow visualization is applied to develop vehicles, machines, and infrastructure by visualizing gaseous, liquid and blood flows to improve designs in fields like engineering, chemistry and medicine.

Flow visualization

Flow visualization is the art of making flow patterns visible. Most


fluids (air, water, etc.) are transparent, thus their flow patterns are
invisible to us without some special methods to make them visible.

Historically, such methods included experimental methods, like say


spilling ink into water. With the importance of computer models in
all kinds of engineering growing and huge amounts of data collected
from simulating flow processes (e.g. the distribution of airconditioned air in a new car), purely computational methods have
been developed
