PSC Tornado Visualization (2008) [720p] - YouTube

thompnickson2

Dear Phellow Phriammers,

Is this eyecandy, or should I take it seriously?

You should take it seriously but I'm biased.  I don't think PSC let's its supercomputers be used for eye candy.  They didn't when I worked there and they were accountable to NSF.

Eye candy in the good sense.

Frank, have you heard of the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center? (DOH you beat me)

Ha, a code that can’t easily create eye candy is a code that is riddled with bugs.

I disagree completely. Right there in the description we see 2 layers of prestidigitation: "Numerically simulated" and "Visualized". Then when we click on the psc link, we get a 404 error. This is akin to a magician sawing a woman in half on stage. Unless you see the *numbers* (since it's "numerically simulated") and unless you see whatever is being "visualized", you should definitely not take it seriously.

Look at Donna Cox’s site at NCSA http://avl.ncsa.illinois.edu/who-we-are/team/donna-cox-director

She’s been doing tornado simulations for over 15 years. We worked with her to put the simulation in planetarium dome. It’s much more impressive when you put the viewer in the middle of the tornado and immersed in it in the planetarium.

Let me revise that a little bit.  There was a visualization of the rider's view of a roller coaster ride that ran on a Cray supercomputer.  The purpose was to demonstrate the capability and speed of a Lisp-based 3D renderer called Plot-3D or P3D or something similar.  Do you know what I'm talking about, Ed?

I vaguely remember plot 3d. No one renders today the way it did. Cray was less than a PC with a decent graphics card.

In reply to this post by jon zingale

OK, so what I got from the original visualization, which I have never grasped before is that a tornado is at the core of a double helix with the warm air rising (usually) in a counter-clockwise direction and evacuating at the top and the cold descending in a clockwise direction and evacuating at the bottom.  That there could be so little friction between the two types of air just amazes me, but it confirms something that Roger tried to explain to me many years ago.

I'm not Marcus but in finite element analysis the discretization of a 2 dimensional region is always done with triangles. It's much more flexible than rectangular grids, to oversimplify.

Because triangles are convex they are guaranteed to be rendered correctly. Every modern graphics system whether hardware or software is based on using triangles as the basic element.

Three points are always in a plane which makes it possible to make the graphics hardware extremely simple (and parallelizable), e.g. the normals are easy to compute.  There are fast tessellation algorithms to convert other 3-d shapes to triangular meshes.

Marcus,

 

Can you explain why the basic unit is a triangle?

 

Any Peircean would LOVE it.

Check out that WaPost article for the state-of-the-art.   (The new Unreal Engine.)

I vaguely remember plot 3d. No one renders today the way it did. Cray was less than a PC with a decent graphics card.

Let me revise that a little bit.  There was a visualization of the rider's view of a roller coaster ride that ran on a Cray supercomputer.  The purpose was to demonstrate the capability and speed of a Lisp-based 3D renderer called Plot-3D or P3D or something similar.  Do you know what I'm talking about, Ed?

You should take it seriously but I'm biased.  I don't think PSC let's its supercomputers be used for eye candy.  They didn't when I worked there and they were accountable to NSF.

Dear Phellow Phriammers,

Is this eyecandy, or should I take it seriously?

In reply to this post by thompnickson2

With a few minutes of digging, the original video can be traced back to a simulation done by http://twister.ou.edu/ who has his publications here http://twister.ou.edu/vita.html#pubs.  The video came from a different specialist in visualization, Greg Foss:

https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_images.jsp?cntn_id=134516&org=NSF

 

Here’s apparently a standard code used to study tornados, there’s a list of users and their publications and the governing equations.   https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/people/bryan/cm1/

 

Should you take any of this seriously?   Well, read the papers and decide.  Is it the fact there is some eye candy causing you to doubt that there is science behind it?

Irrelevant:  I knew Greg Foss.  He was in my group.  The OU people were led by Kelvin Droegemeier who is now Trump's science advisor and Head of OTSP.  But he's very smart.
