Abstract

The speed up of supercomputers has increased the complexity of simulations. To analyze such kind of data, new types of visualization software are needed. As one of approach for meeting this requirement, we are developing the “Fusion Visualization” in a project sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). It can execute fused visualization of simulation data combining both volume and surface rendering. The overall concept was reported last year at the AROB 18th International Symposium in Korea. In this work, we are reporting the ongoing research with an application example related to blood flow simulation.
