This project, the Vector Field Visualization (VFV) Project, is an integrated effort to apply new and existing visualization techniques to help understand the structure of vector fields, especially within areas of computational engineering. The project will use visualization as means of improving research and promoting the sciences within Mississippi and the surrounding region. The project will study vector field visualization for vector fields arising in a variety of engineering disciplines, including fluid mechanics, meteorology, materials science, and electricity/magnetism. There are four components to the research in this project. (1) The VFV Project promotes VFV as a distinct subdiscipline of data visualization by devising new technique, applying and improving existing techniques, performing visualization analysis, and exploring parallelism to generate efficient and effective imagery to study vector fields and communicate results. The research methods include multidimensional display of vector fields; optimal placement of flow lines; improvements to and analysis of Line Integral Convolution; mixed-dimensional illumination of tufts; iconic display of vector fields; and interpolation of visualization over time. (2) The Project will apply VFV techniques to real datasets of interest to researchers in engineering disciplines by soliciting datasets from researchers at the NSF ERC for CFS as well as from government research labs. (3) The project will promote the development of a center of excellence in VFV at Mississippi State university. (4) The Project will disseminate research results nationwide through conferences, journals, and the internet.

这个项目，矢量场可视化（VFV）项目，是一个综合的努力，应用新的和现有的可视化技术，以帮助理解矢量场的结构，特别是在计算工程领域。 该项目将使用可视化作为改善研究和促进密西西比及周边地区科学的手段。 该项目将研究各种工程学科中出现的矢量场的矢量场可视化，包括流体力学，气象学，材料科学和电/磁。 该项目的研究有四个组成部分。(1)VFV项目通过设计新技术，应用和改进现有技术，进行可视化分析，并探索并行性来生成高效和有效的图像来研究矢量场并交流结果，将VFV提升为数据可视化的一个独特的子学科。 研究方法包括矢量场的多维显示;流线的最佳放置;线积分卷积的改进和分析;簇的混合维照明;矢量场的图标显示;以及随时间推移的可视化插值。(2)该项目将VFV技术应用于工程学科研究人员感兴趣的真实的数据集，方法是从NSF ERC的CFS研究人员以及政府研究实验室征求数据集。 (3)该项目将促进密西西比州立大学的VFV卓越中心的发展。(4)该项目将通过会议、期刊和互联网在全国范围内传播研究成果。
