One of our principal aims in flow visualization has been to quantitize the observed flow phenomena through digital image processing. Recently, a new trend has been developed in the reverse way: to produce the image of flow phenomena from computer-generated data using color graphic techniques. The latter method can also be used in reconstruction of the experimental flow field from limited data to give more physical meaning to the information. This technique permits a numerical (computer) experiment to be visualized much like a physical one and thus help to speed up the interpretation of physical phenomena.
This study-surveys the literature pertinent to flow visualization by means of computer-generated color graphic techniques. Both the methods and applications are included.
