Nonlinear Models for Representation, Compression, and Visualization of Fluid Flow Images and Velocimetry Data Ralph M. Ford and Robin N. Strickland Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract Particle tracing experiments introduce a foreign substance such as dye, smoke, or particles into the Nonlinear phase portraits are employed to repre- flow to determine the trajectories and/or velocity of sent the streamlines of scalar flow images generated incompressible flows. Image processing and analysis b y particle tracing experiments. The flow fields are techniques are employed in these experiments to pro- decomposed into simple component flows based on the vide qualitative and quantitative results. The advan- critical point behavior. A Taylor series model is as- tage of this approach is the ability to non-invasively sumed for the velocity components, and the model CO- measure the entire flow field, assuming that the added eficients are computed b y considering both local criti- substances do not introduce any significant interfer- cal point and global flow field behavior.
