Abstract
In this study, scientific visualization by the CAVE virtual reality (VR) system is applied to the analysis of magnetic reconnection simulation data for the first time. The magnetic field streamline, the isosurface of density profile, the contour of temperature profile, the arrow of flow velocity, and other variables are displayed in VR space. The trajectories of particles under the electromagnetic field obtained by simulation are also traced simultaneously. We can clearly see the relationship between complex three-dimensional structures of magnetic fields, distribution of particle temperature, particle trajectories, and other variables in VR space.
