自适应步长的海洋流线构造算法

目的 为深入研究海洋流场的结构特征,在临界点理论的支持下,根据不同的临界点类型提出了充分考虑流场结构特征的初始质点源布置策略,并根据原始网格矩阵中局部网格的流速和流向,提出了一种具有更宽泛步长调整适用度的自适应步长计算模型。该模型可根据具体流场特征实现步长增长倍数和全局步长增长控制的双自由度调整,同时可满足同向加速和逆向减速的步长控制。为实现流线在全局流场中的合理化布置,提出了基于平滑窗口的流线密度调整策略。对全球海洋流场进行可视化实验,结果表明,本文算法在海洋流场结构特征的表达中应用效果较好。

Adaptive-Step Based Marine Fluid Flow Streamline Constructing Algorithm

Objective The visualization of vector fields has become an important means for the expression of flowsin many different disciplines.In order to express a marine fluid flow's structure more clearly,based oncritical point theory,we present a new seeding point placement strategy and a new adaptive-step com-putation model.Considering a local cell's velocity and flow direction jointly with two degrees of free-dom,it adjusts the steps by using two parameters and realizes the step acceleration and decelerationaccording to the flow direction.For the placement of the global flow field streamlines,we also give anew streamline density adjustment strategy based on a smoothing window.Experimental analysis of aglobal ocean flow visualization shows that this algorithm better expresses the marine fluid flow struc-ture and suggests a reasonable placement of streamlines.
