In many situations important for physics simulation, the relevant fields (like the vorticity of a fluid or the magnetic field of a plasma) exhibit a strong tendency to become concentrated in one-dimensional filaments or two-dimensional sheets. “Decomposing” a given continuous field into its ”constituent” filaments or sheets is important for understanding and visualizing a given field.
Moreover, simulation algorithms that take into account the natural tendency of the fields to become "discretized” into filaments or sheets can be highly efficient. We also will use the methods developed in this project to reconstruct velocity fields from video capture of smoke.
