  • Hybrid visualization of asymmetric tensor fields : glyphs and hyperstreamlines

    Creator:
    Palke, Darrel
    Abstract:
    Asymmetric tensor fields are useful for understanding fluid flow and solid deformation. They present new challenges, however, for traditional tensor field visualization techniques such as hyperstreamline placement and glyph packing. This is because the physical behavior of tensors inside real domains where eigenvalues are real is fundamentally different from the...

  • Flow visualization for wake formation under solitary wave flow

    Creator:
    Seiffert, Betsy Rose
    Abstract:
    The use of data extracted from particle image velocimetry (PIV) along with vector and tensor visualization techniques provides a valuable tool for understanding a complex flow field. By studying a simple geometric structure such as a cylinder under a simple transient waveform, fundamental mechanisms of wake development under solitary wave...

  • A Formal Foundation for Variational Programming Using the Choice Calculus

    Creator:
    Hubbard, Spencer
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we present semantic equivalence rules for an extension of the choice calculus and sound operations for an implementation of variational lists. The choice calculus is a calculus for describing variation and the formula choice calculus is an extension with formulas. We prove semantic equivalence rules for the...

  • The choice calculus : a formal language of variation

    Creator:
    Walkingshaw, Eric
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I present the choice calculus, a formal language for representing variation in software and other structured artifacts. The choice calculus is intended to support variation research in a way similar to the lambda calculus in programming language research. Specifically, it provides a simple formal basis for presenting,...
