Visualization Practice in Construction of a Computational Grid for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Aero-crafts

To construct a user orient computational grid for multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of aero-crafts based on web service, visualization of the computing data and visual steering of the whole process for MDO is highly required. In this paper, our visualization practice in construction of the Grid for MDO of aero-crafts is described. There are two kind of practice will be described in detail, including visual steering scheme for MDO and Visualization service for computing data. The visual steering scheme is constructed under web service environment and is performed as a series of web pages. Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Java are adopted in visualization service to process the results of MDO of geometry and the CFD data. All visualization practice in construction of this grid makes the process for MDO of aero-crafts efficiently.
