Abstract
This paper describes the design and performance of an interactive visualization system developed specifically for time-varying volume data from thermal flow simulations. The system uses compression to allows for better memory utilization and faster data transfer, hardware accelerated rendering to enable interactive exploration for parameters and fluid phonomenon, and an intuitive user interface to support comparative visualization. It was found that this system have enough capabilities for interactive visualization. Especially, the latest commodity hardware will accelerrate the perfomance of this system.
