Oil Painting of the Impressionist l The multiple layers of brush stokes in these paintings provide a natural metaphor of constructing visualization from layers of synthetic “brush stokes”. l The works of three painters they studied – – – Gogh, Vincent van (1853 -1890) Monet, Claude-Oscar (1840 -1926) Cezanne, Paul (1839 -1906)
Oil Painting of the Impressionist Van Gogh, whose large, expressive, discrete strokes carry meaning both individually and collectively. Two Cypresse (1889)
Oil Painting of the Impressionist Monet, whose smaller stokes are often meaningless in isolation – the relationships among the stokes give them meaning, far more than in van Gogh. Woman Seated under the Willows
Oil Painting of the Impressionist Cezanne, who combined strokes into cubist facets, playing with 3 D perspective and time within his paintings more than either van Gogh or Monet. His layering also incorporates more atmospheric effects. In a sense, his work shifts from surface rendering toward volume rendering. The Card Players -1892) (1890
Oil Painting of the Impressionist Van Gogh's The Mulberry Tree (1889) illustrates the visual shorthand that van Gogh used with his expressive stokes. Multiple layers of stokes combine to define regions of different ground cover, aspects of the hillside, and features of the tree. An underpainting shows the "anatomy" of composition of the scene in broad stokes.
Oil Painting of the Impressionist l l Capture the marriage between direct representation of independent data and the overall intuitive feeling of the data as a whole Space: encode different information at different scales Time: design visualizations so that important data features are mapped to quickly seen visual features Choose the artists in whom you have a passionate interest, any artist has lessons to offer to visualization
Basic Fluid Mechanics Concepts l l l Vorticity Reynolds Number Rate of Strain Tensor Turbulent Charge Turbulent Current
Basic Fluid Mechanics Concepts l – – Vorticity ξ=▽×u Vorticity is primarily used to describe the rotation of fluid. If ▽ × u = 0 then the fluid is irrotational else the fluid is rotational
Basic Fluid Mechanics Concepts l – – Reynolds Number Reynolds number = ρVD / μ Reynolds number is proportional to { (inertial force) / (viscous force) } and is used in momentum, heat, and mass transfer to account for dynamic similarity.
Basic Fluid Mechanics Concepts l – – Rate of Strain Tensor The symmetric part is known as the rate of strain tensor The anti-symmetric part is known as vorticity
Basic Fluid Mechanics Concepts l – Turbulent charge and turbulent current The turbulent charge and turbulent current, collectively referred to as turbulent sources, could substitute the role of vorticity in more complicated flows.

Visualization Methodology l Developing a visualization method involves – Breaking the data into components Exploring the relationships among components Visually expressing both the components and their relationships – –
