Flow visualization is the art of making flow patterns visible. Most fluids (air, water, etc.) are transparent, thus their flow patterns are invisible to the naked eye without methods to make them this visible. Historically, such methods included experimental methods.
Image-based flow visualization where a grid image is advected by the flow field. In scientific visualization, image-based flow visualization (or visualisation) is a computer modelling technique developed by Jarke van Wijk [1] to visualize two dimensional flows of liquids such as water and air, like the wind movement of a tornado. Compared with ...

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive optical flow measurement technique used to study fluid flow patterns and velocities. PIV has found widespread applications in various fields of science and engineering, including aerodynamics, combustion, oceanography, and biofluids.
In information visualization, Van Wijk is known for his research in texture synthesis, [5] treemaps, [6] [7] and flow visualization. [8] [9] His work on map projection [10] won the 2009 Henry Johns Award of the British Cartographic Society for best cartographic journal article.
The Visualization Handbook is a textbook by Charles D. Hansen and Christopher R. Johnson that serves as a survey of the field of scientific visualization by presenting the basic concepts and algorithms in addition to a current review of visualization research topics and tools. [1]
Schlieren photography is a process for photographing fluid flow. Invented by the German physicist August Toepler in 1864 to study supersonic motion, it is widely used in aeronautical engineering to photograph the flow of air around objects.
The flow is initialized with turbulence generated using Kolmogorov scaling and the velocity field then moves from left to right at 1 grid cell per second. A point source is situated upwind to simulate the dispersion of a scalar plume in this velocity field. In fluid dynamics, Kolmogorov microscales are the smallest scales in turbulent flow.
