Pseudoschlieren image computation

October 15, 2003, 10:44

Hi all,

i'm looking for recipes to generate pseudoschlieren images from numerical flow data. Is it such the absolute density gradient, what i have to compute? Thanks in advance. Stefan

Hi

Basically, compute the norm of 2D density gradient for 1 computational plane x-y :

S=sqrt((drho/dx)^2+(drho/dy)^2)

and for instance draw contours with an exponential level distribution for S.

See R. Samtaney, "Visualization, extraction and quantification of discontinuities in compressible flows", technical report NAS-99-002", NASA, March 1999, for some details (freely downloadable, but I don't remember the electronic address. Use NASA STI search engine : www.sti.nasa.gov)

Best regards
