Poster Organization Style That Engenders Response (POSTER)

Calculations of convection with dynamic plates are increasingly complex because they include interactions that occur on multiple length and time scales. While the calculations themselves are computationally challenging, presenting the results in a coherent fashion to a broad audience with diverse interests and backgrounds is an even greater challenge. Movies can be useful, but they are not always practical. Stereo visualization can be a great tool as well; however, a geowall is not appropriate for every venue. In this poster, I will explore a variety of methods to explain and illustrate a complex calculation including: passive stereo, feature extraction, and more general model abstraction (a.k.a., cartoons).
