Magnetic Reconnection time series animation can be found here.

"Daughton Magnetic Reconnection" IsoSurface

  • Iso-surface of the 10243 Daughton Magnetic Reconnection volume data set, generated with ParaView, and rendered using OpenSWR.
  • Generated iso-surface contains 20M and 85M triangles (depending on time slice).
  • Achieved using unmodified Paraview 4.1 on an Intel® Core™ i7-4790 workstation with 32GB of memory.

CM1 Tornado time series animation can be found here.

CM1 Tornado IsoSurface

  • Iso-surfaces of the CM1 Tornado simulation volume data set, generated with VisIt, and rendered using OpenSWR.
  • Generated iso-surfaces contain 7M+ triangles per time step over the 1000-step series.
  • Achieved using VisIt 3.0-beta on a dual-socket Intel® Xeon™ E5-2699 v4 workstation with 128GB of memory.

Model from Leigh Orf at the University of Wisconsin. For more tornado visualization, please visit Leigh Orf's website.
