B-Viz (science visualization)


We are devoted to education! Our aim is to strengthen & promote experiences in science, technology, engineering & mathematics (STEM). We utilize 3D visualizations to support the understanding of data & scientific phenomena.

This page provides a selection of example movies - illustrating the features and capabilities of the B-Viz visualization service. Note, the YouTube rendering introduces artifacts and causes a reduction in quality - original movies are of high image quality. More videos can be found on the following YouTube channel:

 


10,000 mass fragments moving in the gravitational field of a binary star system (simulation). The fragments start out at the Lagrangian point between the two stars with a slight upward (+Z) impulse. The blue-colored plane indicates the strength of the gravitation (inverted for better visibility). The field lines are indicated in green color. The diffuse nebula (visualized in the 2nd half) indicates the mass density of the fragments. The blue vector field indicates the velocity distribution.


 


10,000 mass fragments moving in the gravitational field of a 3-star system (simulation). The field lines of the gravitational field are indicated in green color. The diffuse nebula, visualized in the 2nd half, indicates the mass density of the fragments (log color scale, linear transparency scale). The light blue vector field indicates the velocity distribution.


 


Visualiation of a 3-phase electric motor. Three current-driven magnets surround the central permanent magnet that drives the motor wheel. The oscillating fields of the three outer magnets have a relative phase shift of one third. The superimposed magnetic field lines are shown (green), together with the field strength integrated along the line-of-sight (diffuse light). The current vs. time functions of the individual magnets are shown on the left, as well as the motor rotation.


 


The structure of a magnetic quadrupole field is illustrated (composed of 4 magnetic dipoles). The diffuse nebula in the latter third of the movie represents the radial component of the field (with respect to the origin).


 


The interaction of 3 magnetic dipoles coupled to solid bodies is simulated. Depending on their shapes, the bodies have different moment-of-inertia tensors. The bodies can freely rotated under the influence of the torques - but are fixed in position. Magnetic field lines are shown in green. The scalar field (d|B|/dt)/|B| is shown as blueish nebula (in the second part of the movie)


 


Magnetic dipoles arranged on a spherical surface. The dipoles are located at fixed positions - but can change their orientation as a result of the magnetic interaction. The field lines of the superimposed field are shown in green.


 


Composition of different scenes of magnetic dipoles arranged on a grid (rectangular and hexagonal). The dipoles are located at fixed positions - but can change their orientation as a result of the magnetic interaction.


 


3D anaglyph version (red/cyan): 10,000 mass fragments moving in the gravitational field of a binary star system (simulation). The fragments start out at the Lagrangian point between the two stars with a slight upward (+Z) impulse. The plane indicates the strength of the gravitation (inverted for better visibility). The field lines are indicated, as well. The diffuse nebula (visualized in the 2nd half) indicates the mass density of the fragments. Red/cyan glasses required for anaglyph stereo effect.


 


A time-dependent vector field (based on the Taylor-Green vortex) is visualized.


 


A 3-component Fourier series is composed with varying coefficients.
