Resource Abstract:
- description: Resources for Advanced Data Analysis and VisualizationResearchers who have access to the latest analysis and
visualization tools are able to use large amounts of complex data to find efficiencies in projects, designs, and resources.
The Data Analysis and Assessment Center (DAAC) at ERDC's Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) provides visualization
and analysis tools and support services to enable the analysis of an ever-increasing volume of data.Simplify Data Analysis
and Visualization ResearchThe resources provided by the DAAC enable any user to conduct important data analysis and visualization
that provides valuable insight into projects and designs and helps to find ways to save resources. The DAAC provides new tools
like ezVIZ, and services such as the DAAC website, a rich resource of news about the DAAC, training materials, a community
forum and tutorials on how to use data analysis and other issues.The DAAC can perform collaborative work when users prefer
to do the work themselves but need help in choosing which visualization program and/or technique and using the visualization
tools. The DAAC also carries out custom projects to produce high-quality animations of data, such as movies, which allow researchers
to communicate their results to others.Communicate Research in ContextDAAC provides leading animation and modeling software
which allows scientists and researchers may communicate all aspects of their research by setting their results in context
through conceptual visualization and data analysis.Success StoriesWave Breaking and Associated Droplet and Bubble FormationWave
breaking and associated droplet and bubble formation are among the most challenging problems in the field of free-surface
hydrodynamics. The method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to solve this problem numerically for flow about
naval vessels. The researchers wanted to animate the time-varying three-dimensional data sets using isosurfaces, but transferring
the data back to the local site was a problem because the data sets were large. The DAAC visualization team solved the problem
by using EnSight and ezVIZ to generate the isosurfaces, and photorealistic rendering software to produce the images for the
animation.Explosive Structure Interaction Effects in Urban TerrainKnown as the Breaching Project, this research studied the
effects of high-explosive (HE) charges on brick or reinforced concrete walls. The results of this research will enable the
war fighter to breach a wall to enter a building where enemy forces are conducting operations against U.S. interests. Images
produced show computed damaged caused by an HE charge on the outer and inner sides of a reinforced concrete wall. The ability
to quickly and meaningfully analyze large simulation data sets helps guide further development of new HE package designs and
better ways to deploy the HE packages. A large number of designs can be simulated and analyzed to find the best at breaching
the wall. The project saves money in greatly reduced field test costs by testing only the designs which were identified in
analysis as the best performers.SpecificationsAmethyst, the seven-node Linux visualization cluster housed at the DAAC, is
supported by ParaView, EnSight, and ezViz visualization tools and configured as follows:Six computer nodes, each with the
following specifications:CPU: 8 dual-core 2.4 Ghz, 64-bit AMD Opteron Processors (16 effective cores)Memory: 128-G RAMVideo:
NVidia Quadro 5500 1-GB memoryNetwork: Infiniband Interconnect between nodes, and Gigabit Ethernet to Defense Research and
Engineering Network (DREN)One storage node:Disk Space: 20-TB TerraGrid file system, mounted on all nodes as /viz and /work;
