Research
The long-term goal of this project is to develop new visualization techniques to support the projects of the CRC in understanding flow, transport and deformation phenomena occurring at interfaces in and around porous media. This requires the integrated visual analysis of processes captured across multiple fields to relate different quantities, analyse simulation ensembles, and compare simulations against experiments. The interactive exploration of large and heterogeneous volumes of data is achieved by efficiently using parallel architectures as well as in-situ data aggregation.
