Poster: Tracking Space-Filling Structures in Turbulent Flows
We present a novel approach for tracking space-filling features, i.e. a set of features which covers the entire domain. In contrast to previous work, we determine the assignment between features from successive time steps by computing a globally optimal, maximum-weight, maximal matching on a weighted, bi-partite graph. We demonstrate the method's functionality by tracking dissipation elements (DEs), a space-filling structure definition from turbulent flow analysis. The ability to track DEs over time enables researchers from fluid mechanics to extend their analysis beyond the assessment of static flow fields to time-dependent settings.
