Techniques for the Visualization of Topological Defect Behavior in Nematic Liquid Crystals
2006
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
We present visualization tools for analyzing molecular simulations of liquid crystal (LC) behavior. The simulation data consists of terabytes of data describing the position and orientation of every molecule in the simulated system over time. Condensed matter physicists study the evolution of topological defects in these data, and our visualization tools focus on that goal. We first convert the discrete simulation data to a sampled version of a continuous second-order tensor field and then use
