Description:
In accordance with the scientific orientation of WIAS to engage in project-oriented research in applied mathematics with the aim of solving complex problems, the amount of data generated by (mostly three-dimensional) computer simulations is ever increasing. A typical example is unsteady weakly supercritical flow simulation of semiconductor melt in a crucible, where large computational times are needed due to the slow evolution of the flow, but also sufficiently small time steps to accurately capture underlying instability features. The visual interpretation is only possible with software tools that do not require the whole data to be stored in the main memory. Hence, in our institute the use of the visualization tool ``AVS/Express'' was increased significantly.
The production of VHS/SVHS videos is now essentially redundant, due to the
growing efficiency of the software and hardware of computers (notably laptops)
which has led to a markedly improved quality of animations.
For presentation purposes, it has been necessary to complete the design of
the new corporate identity of WIAS. New flyers were produced for two
research groups, while English versions of all existing flyers were created.
Active support in the preparation and the realization of a so-called
``Parlamentarischer Abend'' (``Parliamentary Evening'') was provided
(creation of posters). This event
involved participation by all institutes of Forschungsverbund Berlin
e.V.
As a new visualization technique, the transformation of a pixel graphic to a
vector graphic was required for some cases, in particular for the graphical
display of mathematical functions.
It led to an improved quality of the graphical display, while the required
storage size was considerably decreased. For this purpose eligible software
was sought and a suitable software-tool for purchase was selected. In
Figure 1, the advantages of this visualization technique are demonstrated.
