20110113356 | Visual analysis module for investigation of specific physical processes - The Visual Analysis Module (VAM) is a graphical user interface that can be linked to any computational code for solving time-dependent multi-parameter problems. VAM has two modes that can be toggled between, an active mode and an inactive mode. VAM operating in the inactive mode accumulates the data being computed and visualizes them in real-time. Upon switching to the active mode, VAM can be used to analyze the accumulated data and change the parameters of the system being studied, while the execution of the computational code is paused. Once VAM is switched back to the inactive state, the calculation continues with a new set of system parameters. The analysis of the accumulated computational data guides the user through the process of modifying system parameters in order to reach the optimal solution of the problem. VAM has multiple diverse capabilities to perform such analysis. By using VAM, one can explore the phase space of system parameters without the need to run a large number of calculations in order to examine each set of parameters individually. Thus, the unknown solutions are classified into different groups according to their time evolution, and the optimal solution is found within the designated group. This method is similar to the analytical treatment, but can also be used to solve highly-nonlinear problems with multiple parameters for which no analytical solution have yet been discovered. | 05-12-2011 |
