Explorer, a Visualization System for Reservoir Simulations

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Explorer, a visualization system for reservoir simulations. It is designed for large-scale data sets and many technologies have been used during its implementation, such as a 3-layer Client-Commware-Server (CCS) structure, Object-Oriented method, VTK based rendering and etc. Compared with current commercial softwares, Explorer has many features including more data formats support, many user-defined properties and full support for Chinese characters.
