Video highlight: Ignition process in a diesel engine

A liquid nDodecane jet (diesel fuel – in blueish colors) is injected in a chamber filled with a hot (900K – 60bar) mixture of air and
burnt gases (H2O & CO2). The flame (in orange – yellow) develops due to an auto-ignition process. This simulation reproduces with great details what is happening in Lyle Picket’s experiment (CRF-Sandia). This was simulated on our local cluster at Sandia on 2500 processors. Simulation and rendering: G. Lacaze and J.C. Oefelein, CRF – Sandia CA

Welcome to ParaView

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities.

ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of petascale size as well as on laptops for smaller data, has become an integral tool in many national laboratories, universities and industry, and has won several awards related to high performance computation.
