McCormick, B.H. et al. (ed), Visualization in Scientific Computing, Computer Graphics 21,6 (November 1987), ACM SIGGRAPH: New York Computational science and engineering encompass a broad range of applications with one common denominator." visualization. Appendix A Scientific and Engineering Research Opportunities Computation is emerging between theory and experiment as a partner in scientific investigation. Computational science and engineering encompass a broad range of applications with o n e common denominator: visualization. Visualization tools are helping researchers understand and steer computations. The list of research opportunities for visualization in scientific computing is long and spans all of contemporary scientific endeavor. The research opportunities actually described in this appendix represent a select sampling of advanced scientific and engineering applications, with the constraints imposed by limited space, as well as by the personal biases of the authors. Scientific opportunities: Molecular modeling, medical imaging, brain structure and function, mathematics, geosciences, space exploration, astrophysics. o Engineering opportunities:Computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis.
