Visualization of a CM1 Cloud Simulation
SessionArt of HPC Display
DescriptionThe simulation data was generated from a three-hour simulation at 7.5 m grid-spacing (domain size of 10 km x 10 km x 8 km) of a precipitating cumulus congestus cloud using Cloud Model 1 (CM1) with Lagrangian microphysics on NSF NCAR's Derecho supercomputer. Model output, in the form of NetCDF files, was converted to OpenVDB volume files, which were then read directly into Blender 3D animation software.
Materials, lighting, and camera motion for the pan/zoom sequence were all applied in Blender. The animation was rendered on an NVIDIA GPU using NVIDIA OptiX via the Blender Cycles rendering engine. The Derecho supercomputer model was also rendered in Blender from a textured mesh. Post-production, including adding text and logos, was performed in Adobe Premiere.
