Abstract:

The year 2010 was called as the first year of 3D, because many 3D products such as 3D TV, 3D PC, 3D camera and so on have been developed and also much 3D media content has been released. This is based on the development of VR (virtual reality) technology related to binocular vision. The application of VR is very widely used in visualization, training, medical care, art and so on. VR is also very useful for computational mechanics not only for visualization but also for enabling physical insights.

In this presentation, simulation and modeling methods for safety and environmental problems using virtual reality technology are presented. We present the tsunami simulation based on the stabilized finite element method as an example of a safety problem and a traffic noise simulation based on geographic acoustic theory as an example of an environmental problem. We also propose a pre- and post-processing system based on virtual reality technique to turn the overall computational tool set into a high-quality simulation environment. The presented methods are shown to be useful tools for the evaluation of safety and environmental problems.
