Abstract

In this paper we present two visualization techniques. One uses the topological structure of the dynamical system near critical points to build an abstract description of the flow. The other places bunches of streamlets around the critical points to visualize the flow characteristics locally. Combining both methods a powerful visualization technique is present, since both the topological information as well as intuitive visual cues are provided.
