In this article, we address three different topics in scientific visualization. The first part introduces optimization strategies that determine the visibility of line and surface geometry, such that a balance between occlusion avoidance and preservation of context is found. The second part proposes new methods for the visualization of time-dependent fluid flows, including the accurate depiction of Lagrangian scalar fields, as well as a new category of vortex identification methods. The third part introduces finite-sized particles as new application area for flow visualization, covering geometry-based methods, particle separation, topology, vortex corelines, and the determination of the origin of finite-sized particles.

可见性、拓扑和惯性：流可视化的新方法

在本文中，我们讨论科学可视化中的三个不同主题。第一部分介绍了确定线和表面几何图形可见性的优化策略，以便找到避免遮挡和保留上下文之间的平衡。第二部分提出了用于时间相关流体流动可视化的新方法，包括拉格朗日标量场的准确描述，以及一种新的涡旋识别方法。第三部分介绍了有限尺寸粒子作为流动可视化的新应用领域，涵盖了基于几何的方法、粒子分离、拓扑、涡核线以及有限尺寸粒子起源的确定。
