Turbulence in a Channel

NCSA visualization is working with Arif Masud and Ramon Calderer from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to visualize turbulence in channel flow. Turbulent channel flow is a classic benchmark problem for Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Visualization work encompassed animation of both streamlines through a velocity field, iso surfaces and volume rendering.
