womENcourage™ 2026: Bringing Simulations to Life with Vistle
How can highly complex simulation results be turned into compelling stories that empower both researchers and their audiences?
This workshop introduces Vistle, an open-source visualization tool designed to embed scientific data into immersive virtual reality environments. Drawing on real examples from the “Center of Excellence for Computational Fluid Dynamics” (CEEC) project, the session offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Vistle was used to visualise large-scale CFD simulation results in virtual reality, first prototyping on a laptop and then scaling up to a computing cluster. Through lecture-style segments and live demonstrations, participants will learn how to create their own interactive visualization pipelines, adjust parameters on the fly, and customise workflows for their research.
