Description: Visualization for numerical simulations, in particular video animation for time-dependent problems, has been the main task in the period since the last review. This has been especially important for 3D problems, where visualization is a vital tool for interpretation and verification of numerical results.
Due to the generally higher performance of the computers,
the production of videos has been focused on computer animation
such as Animated GIFs, AVI animation (Microsoft)
and MPEG videos.
The creation of VHS/SVHS videos was not required.
The configuration of the computer with a Fire Wire and/or USB 2 interface enables direct transfer from online visualization and computer animation to a digital video recorder.
An important part of the support provided for all
research groups of the institute was the conversion of
differing image formats, notably the conversion of file
formats from the ``PC world'' to the ``workstation world''.
For this reason it has also been necessary to handle
visualization software for the operating system Windows,
such as Power Point or Adobe Photoshop.
With the development of a new corporate identity for our institute, it has been necessary to realize the technical transfer of the designer's outlines from typographic PC software to the workstation software environment (UNIX) of the institute. This included the creation of macros for LaTeX (together with J. Fuhrmann), the installation of postscript fonts, and the adaptation and optimization of files in the UNIX environment.
Software was thereby subsequently developed for the new layout of posters and flyers from our institute. Active support for the production of new posters and flyers for all of the research groups was provided.
The ``Numerical Modeling'' group of the Institute of Crystal Growth (IKZ) presented results on crystal melt-flow simulation from an ongoing collaborative project with the WIAS research group ``Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computing'' at the ``Long Night of Sciences'' in Berlin/Potsdam (``Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften''). The graphics were presented in the form of Animated GIFs, which were produced at WIAS.
