Interactive Visualization Pipeline Architecture Using Work-Flow Management System on Grid for CFD Analysis

Abstract

Since the potential of the impact of complex problem like CFD on design of material that is difficult to test actually has been established, CFD analysis that consist of two parts – simulation part and visualization part is considered as important work. But many researcher think it is difficult to analyze CFD problem because of following two reasons. First reason is that CFD analysis usually needs numerous processing time and much computing power. and Second is that the tasks of simulation and visualization are usually done independently – numerical simulation then visualization with stand-alone visualizing system. we propose solution of two problem. First problem is solved by using parallel/distributed programming on problem solving environment on grid environment – WISE system. and Second problem is solved by interactive visualization pipeline architecture that enables user to conducting simulation and visualization at the same time automatically applying pipeline concept. Therefore we presented interactive visualization pipeline architecture and implemented using WISE system.
