Abstract
Most techniques for the visualization of fluid dynamics are based on vector graphics. Streamlines or arrows are calculated as vectors, which are converted to pixels for display on raster devices. The techniques described here show that it can be advantageous to use a raster graphics approach to the visualization of fluid dynamics. The properties of raster devices can be exploited better, while also anti-aliasing can be realized in a simple way. Three techniques for visualization of two-dimensional flow are described: for the calculation and display of streamlines; an alternative technique based on particle systems for capturing flow in a still image; and for the creation of animations using particles.
