VoluViz: A Volume Visualization Application

In our modern society we are overwhelmed by information. Supercomputers all over the world are generating data sets containing terabytes of numerical data. In the years ahead the greatest challenge to the scientifc community will be to make sense of all this information. Specifically, tools will be needed to explore large multi-dimensional data sets describing complex physical processes. Computer aided visualization will certainly be one of the most important means of solving this problem. Turbulence researchers at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment need visualization software in order to validate simulation code, present results, and gain greater insight into physical phenomena. In this thesis we present VoluViz, an interactive volume visualization application developed at the NDRE, which is designed to fulfill these needs
