These are images generated with dxhdf5. If you use dxhdf5 and have pictures you would like to contribute to the gallery, please send them to: dxhdf5-devel@cips.colorado.edu.

OCCAM

The picture shows a single isopycnal (constant density) surface from a preliminary run of the OCCAM global ocean model, run at 1/12 degree resolution. The surface colouring is from the salinity data, in PSU. The area shown is the North Atlantic, with coasts outlined in white. The model output is stored in the HDF5 format because individual files are larger than 3.5GB, even when using the HDF5 compression.

VORPAL

OpenDX visualizes results of VORPAL, a relativistic, arbitrary dimensional, hybrid plasma and beam simulation code.

The picture shows the nonlinear structure of a laser wake field potential. These results were stored in HDF5 files and imported into OpenDX using the dxhdf5 package.

Semiclassical Quantum Optics

This is an HEM810 whispering gallery electromagnetic mode in a microdisk with the exponentially decaying evanescent field on the outside. The data base is the z component of the magnetic field. Shown are isosurfaces and a plane cutting the disk in half. The radius is 105 nm and the height 30 nm.

The data is produced during a simulation of the semiclassical behaviour of the active (pumped) material and the full three dimensional electromagnetic fields. The algorithm used in these simulations is called ADE-FDTD (auxiliary difference equation finite difference in time domain).
