Title
Hierarchical and adaptive visualization on nested grids
Abstract
Modem numerical methods are capable to resolve fine structures in solutions of partial differential equations. Thereby they produce large amounts of data. The user wants to explore them interactively by applying visualization tools in order to understand the simulated physical process. Here we present a multiresolution approach for a large class of hierarchical and nested grids. It is based on a hierarchical traversal of mesh elements combined with an adaptive selection of the hierarchical depth. The adaptation depends on an error indicator which is closely related to the visual impression of the smoothness of isosurfaces or isolines, which are typically used to visualize data. Significant examples illustrate the applicability and efficiency on different types of meshes.
