  • To quantify and minimize visualization errors in rendering high-order finite element solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Ray-tracing algorithm utilizing polynomial root-finding for ray-isosurface intersection.
  • Adaptive scheme combining spectral/hp element smoothness with orthogonal polynomial approximation theory.
  • Projection of finite element solutions onto element-partitioned segments along the ray.
