  11. Motivation • Goal: Fast computation of FTLE animations (variation of t0) • Observation 1 • Interpretation of LCS can often be restricted to a region of interest • E.g. often related to boundary effects such as attachment/separation • Observation 2 • G. Haller 2001: LCS are material surfaces • FTLE ridges advect with the vector field • Strategy 1 • Restrict FTLE computation to regions of interest • Strategy 2 • Exploit temporal coherence by advection of the sampling grid Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  12. Initial Grid • Separation/Attachment • Initial grid at lines of separation/attachment (Kenwright, Tricoche) • Or along complete boundaries • Any other region which is assumed to contain part of LCS • E.g. blades of a turbine Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  14. Grid Growing Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  15. Resampling • Grid advection leads to distorted cells • Affected gradient estimation (FTLE, ridge extraction) • Distorted ridges and artifacts (also due to MC-ridge extraction) • Resampling • New sampling grid around existing ridges inside region of interest • Need to re-compute trajectories • Expensive • Problem • Resampling leads to temporal incoherence due to vanishing distortion • Resampling triggered by error threshold Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  16. Error Measure • LCS error: difficult to measure (difference of ridge surfaces) • Similar to appoach by Garth et al.: • Base on error of FTLE, not its ridges (LCS) Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  17. Resampling - Algorithm • Resample each r advection steps • Error estimation by linearization • r can get estimated too large • Either take back advection steps if RMS exceeded tolerance • Or prescribe a reduced tolerance e.g. by 15% Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  18. Intake of Power Plant Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  19. Intake of Power Plant • Initial sampling grid • Negative-time path lines • Adapted sampling grid • 8 advection steps since last resample • Resulting ridge Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  22. Intake of Power Plant: Performance Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection

  23. Conclusion • Efficient method for computing time series of time-dependent quantities based on trajectories • Temporal incoherence of resulting ridges • Can be limited by prescription of maximum error • If large error is allowed, method can be used for preview mode • Future work • Better ridge extraction (no linear interpolation for MC edge intersections) Time-Dependent Visualization of Lagrangian Coherent Structures by Grid Advection
