Abstract
Visualization and visual analysis play important roles in exploring, analyzing, and presenting scientific data. In many disciplines, data and model scenarios are becoming multifaceted: data are often spatiotemporal and multivariate; they stem from different data sources (multimodal data), from multiple simulation runs (multirun/ensemble data), or from multiphysics simulations of interacting phenomena (multimodel data resulting from coupled simulation models). Also, data can be of different dimensionality or structured on various types of grids that need to be related or fused in the visualization. This heterogeneity of data characteristics presents new opportunities as well as technical challenges for visualization research. Visualization and interaction techniques are thus often combined with computational analysis. In this survey, we study existing methods for visualization and interactive visual analysis of multifaceted scientific data. Based on a thorough literature review, a categorization of approaches is proposed. We cover a wide range of fields and discuss to which degree the different challenges are matched with existing solutions for visualization and visual analysis. This leads to conclusions with respect to promising research directions, for instance, to pursue new solutions for multirun and multimodel data as well as techniques that support a multitude of facets.

Interactive Spatiotemporal Visualization of Phase Space Particle Trajectories Using Distance Plots

TL;DR: By linking the distance plot with phase plots, one can more easily investigate the spatiotemporal patterns, and by extending the plot to visualize particle weights in conjunction with the phase space trajectories, the visualization better supports the needs of domain experts studying particle-in-cell simulations.

Fiber Uncertainty Visualization for Bivariate Data With Parametric and Nonparametric Noise Models

TL;DR: This paper presents a statistical framework to quantify positional probabilities of fibers extracted from uncertain bivariate fields and extends the state-of-the-art Gaussian models of uncertainty for bivariate data to other parametric distributions and more general nonparametric probability distributions and derives corresponding spatial probabilities of fiber probabilities.

Visual Analysis of Two-Phase Flow Displacement Processes in Porous Media

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the visual analysis of their novel parameter study of porous media experiments, focusing on gaining a better understanding of drainage processes on the micro-scale, and discuss how to directly compare experiments that exhibit processes at different temporal scales due to varying boundary and physical conditions.
