The animation visualizes the transition period during which fusions of the very small structures of the initial condition leads to larger ones. The numerical procedure used here is called the Nonlinear Galerkin Method and was first introduced by R. Temam Geology Project Until recently, seismometers recorded only up-down motion, and the standard display was the seismogram, a wiggly line drawn with a pen plotting on a scrolling sheet of paper. Animated visual techniques are now being used for the analysis of seismic motion generated by earthquakes in Southern California. It is displayed as either vector displacement, particle motion traces, or surface displacement of the entire array. Updating the screen image for each digital sample produces an animated display analogous to a movie of an earthquake.
Work is currently underway to sonify the frequency domain animation.
It is often important to be able to visualize both global and local properties of graphs. The larger the graph, the more difficult this becomes. An AVS module has been written to display large graphs with as many as 20 thousand nodes and over 500 thousand edges, given either a 2 or a 3D embedding. The user can interactively view both gobal or local features of the graph. Animations were developed as a tool to be used as part of an experimental analysis of algorithms project.
