Results

So far, we experimented with four data sets to test out the proposed degenerate tensor extraction algorithm. The first is a 2D rectangular patch with symmetric 3D tensors at the four corners that have been set randomly. The tensor values within the patch are obtained through linear interpolation. This synthetic data corresponds to tensors on a face of a 3D cell. The second is a 3D cell with symmetric 3D tensors on its eight corners which are also set randomly. The third is the stress tensor data in a semi-infinite volume with two point loads. The last is the deformation tensors in a computed flow past a cylinder with a hemisphere cap. In all the figures, the colors are mapped to the tensor discriminant with blue mapped to zero and warmer colors to higher values. Degenerate tensors can be found in the blue regions.
