CSIG-VIS International Lecture Series 29
Prof. Guoning Chen | Extract and Visualize Structures in Turbulent Flows


Speaker: Guoning Chen

University of Houston

Topic: Extract and Visualize Structures in Turbulent Flows

Time: June 15, 2023 19:00-20:30 Beijing time (UTC/GMT+08:00)

Abstract: Turbulent flows and their modeling have found wide-ranging applications in various fields such as automobile engineering, drug development, the food industry, wind/tide energy harnessing, disease diagnosis, and more. However, the features and structures in turbulent flows are in different scales and often tangled with each other in space, posing significant challenges when it comes to extract and separate them for the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of turbulent flows. Among these different features and structures, coherent structures are particularly interesting to the experts, as they play a crucial role in characterizing important turbulent mechanisms. In this talk, I will provide an overview of several recently developed techniques by our research group for the extraction and visualization of coherent structures in different turbulent flows. Firstly, I will introduce some techniques designed for extracting and separating vortices, a prominent example of coherent structures. Next, I will present a selection of techniques that aim to separate large-scale coherent structures from the smaller ones. To conclude, I will highlight the remaining challenges in turbulent flow analysis and visualization to motivate future work.

Speaker Bio: Guoning Chen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Houston. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Oregon State University in 2009. From 2009 to 2012, he was a postdoc research fellow at Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute at the University of Utah. His research interests include data analysis and visualization, topology-based methods, turbulent flow analysis and visualization, geometric modeling, geometry processing, and physics-based simulations. He is a recipient of an NSF CAREER award and a Junior Faculty Award for Excellence in Research from the College of Natural Science and Mathematics at the University of Houston. He also received a few best paper awards and honorable mention awards from IEEE PacificVis and IEEE VIS conferences.
