Calculation and Visualization of a Fluid Flow

Fluid flow simulations play an important role in many scientific disciplines. For the past two decades, researchers have developed various visualization techniques to enable effective analysis of large scale simulation output. Among the many directions of research, visualization of flow fields remains to be one of the most challenging problems in the field. In this work, the equation of continuity which holds for a fluid in motion is computed. The fundamental equation of motion is also derived for a perfect fluid in motion under the acting of any given system of body forces. The flow velocity of a fluid in general motion can be derived from a vector potential. In this work, the calculation and visualization of fluid flow around a cylinder are also presented
