 Reading Results from Computer SimulationsTommaso Solcia () A chapter in The Visual Language of Technique, 2015, pp 109-111 from Springer Abstract: Abstract To take the most complicated industrial and academical problems, computer simulations are nowadays widely used by researchers: a physical problem is often translated into a set of equations, which as an input into a computer, solve the issue. In these years, the computational power available gives us the possibility to solve systems with millions of variables. So what about reading and communicating all the computed numbers? In this context, images play an interesting role. By giving a one-to-one relation between values and colours, it is possible to represent a million values at once, allowing both global and detailed information about what has to be predicted, or just described. The here presented examples have been selected to give an idea of how images are used by researchers in the aerospace: during the design of a complicated machine, such as a helicopter or an aircraft, or to deeply study new research phenomena as implosions. The details of these few examples, should clarify how wide the applications could be.
