SCEC Visualizations

SCEC researchers produce a wide variety of scientific movies and animations to help us better understand our research results and to convey these results to other scientists and the general public. SCEC Visualization Groups include SDSC, PSC, USC, and SCEC Interns. Below are links to resource providers and recent examples of their work.

Recent SCEC Visualization Highlights

M8 wave propagation simulations show the supershear M8 rupture and strong ground motions extending across much of southern California for this scenario event. More information on this simulation is posted on the M8 Project page.

Fig 1: M8 Wave Propagation Movie

M8 Wave Height Field movies show M8 simulation ground motion intensity (velocity magnitude) as exaggerated local elevation.

Fig 2: M8 Velocity Mag as Height Field

Vector Field with narration show new techniques for visualizing 4D vector fields. Work was done by Amit Chourasia and Emmett Smith J.B. Minster while working as a SCEC Intern. Amit and Emmett presented this work at a computer visualization conference SiGGraph in 2010. The final version HD version of this animation is more than 800MB is size and will be posted only on request.

Fig 3: Ground Motion Vector Visualization (Narrated)

We are working to compute and visualize building response to SCEC simulation ground motions. In this example, a 18 story steel frame building is shaken by M8 ground motions in the Northridge, California area. This is preliminary result that we hope to refine by SC10.
