Fusion
 Simulation performed using the NIMROD code on the IBM SP RS/6000 computer at the National Energy Research Center. Support provided by the DOE Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) Project. Visualization produced using the SCIRun Problem Solving Environment. |
One of the goals of the National Fusion Collaboration is to bring visualization tools to fusion scientists that allow exploration of their data on a Linux workstation. We hope to develop a generalized visualization system that can support a wide variety of fusion data. Currently we are using NIMROD data as a test bed for developing this system but will soon include other data. As part of our development we are interested in not only the visualization tools needed but also how those tools can best be used by a large number fusion scientists with differing interests.
The National Fusion Collaboratory Project is funded by the US DOE SciDAC Program
Two frames from a time sequence showing the stochastic nature of the realspace magnetic field lines. A comparison of the two frames shows that the magnetic field lines are starting to diverge earlier as time progresses. The field lines are overlaid in a volume rendering of the pressure field which provides visual cues to the location while also rendering the plasma velocity vector field. |
