Abstract

Visualization is an interdisciplinary imaging technique devoted to make the invisible visible by the techniques of experimental and computer-aided visualizations. It is applicable to various phenomena such as flow, heat, sound, electromagnetism, chemical kinetics and any of their combinations. This review describes the process of development, the present state and fruit of application, and the expectation of future development of visualization using examples. These examples expand to a wide range of fields including engineering, physics, medical science, agriculture, oceanography, meteorology and sports science.
