Our laboratory uses ParaView for visualizing numerical simulation results. Since Apple transitioned to its own processors (Apple Silicon), ray tracing had been unavailable in ParaView on Apple computers for some time. Fortunately, with the release of ParaView 5.11.0, ray tracing has become available on Apple Silicon Macs!
The animation below shows the results of a fluid flow simulation of a person running through water. By providing human body motions, such as walking or running, as input data, we can calculate the hydrodynamic forces acting on the body during these movements.
We would like to use this capability to investigate the risks associated with evacuation through flowing water. Unfortunately, however, this research is currently on hold because the student who was working on it has graduated.
We would be very happy if someone were interested in continuing this research!
