The underlying presumption in this toolkit is that the overall goal is to send data, which can be up to a five-dimensional array of double precision floating point values, from a computational source to a consumer. The underlying data must be reducable to a contiguous chunk of memory. This work was done with researchers at Northwestern University who are studying the enzyme beta-lactamase. Visualizations of a theorectical chemical reaction - the dehydrogenation of ethylene. Reservoir Simulation Reservoir characterization involves predicting production.
Production is a function of geophysical and geochemical parameters.
Typically, these parameters are estimated from samples. The challenge is better predictions of these unknowns, as well as better tools for calculating production given a set of parameters. The VisGroup is working with scientists in ESD to create a visualization showing the Yucca Mountain storage facility. Look for this model soon in in LBL's Washington DC office. This interesting collaboration has resulted in new tools for interacting with and visualizing large datasets.
