An Offline-Based On-Demand Visualization System of Large-Scale Particle Simulation for Tsunami Disaster Prevention

After the Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami, new Tsunami disaster-prevention and mitigation methods for the next millennium Tsunami are actively being discussed. Consequently, the methods have highlighted the importance of both hard disaster-prevention method, which means direct prevention using infrastructure such as breakwater, and soft disaster-prevention method, including disaster-prevention education. In this paper, a visualization and polygonization system that can be effectively utilized for Tsunami disaster prevention is proposed for large-scale particle simulation. The system includes two important features, such as engineering-purposed visualization and polygonization for hard and soft tsunami disaster-prevention methods, respectively. Moreover, the system can handle the large-scale particle simulation data that are computed by a high-performance computer via an offline on-demand tool without data transfer.
