Abstract

The volume rendering code Srend is designed for visualization of computational fluid dynamics simulations which use Cartesian grids, and it is designed to be compiled within the application for in-core rendering. Srend was embedded in three codes: Piecewise Parabolic Method (PPMstar), Cloud Model 1 (CM1), and Weather Research Forecast model (WRF). Results show modest rendering overhead, fine quality imagery, and high potential for scaling. When embedded in a code, Srend produces immediate, quality imagery, and this capability can sharply reduce data output & storage requirements.
