Foil 28 InfoVision - Simulation on Demand

From InfoMall and NPAC's InfoVISION Initiative -- 1995 General Overview -- January 1,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

Financial Modeling (as in NYNET Demonstrations)
Reasonably accurate simulations are available for
  • Weather - tornados, storms, etc. (Tornado from CAPS NSF Center)
  • Environment -
    • smog in LosAngles
    • acid rain in the Adirondacks
  • Atoms - Molecules - Reactions
  • Air flow around vehicles from cars .... shuttles
These simulations of physical phenomena can be used to illustrate scientific principles
  • change boundary conditions e.g., alter rate of cutting trees in Amazon for climate simulation
  • change shapes of cars
  • change laws of nature
