ABSTRACT = {We describe an approach to visually analyzing the dynamic behavior of 3D<br>time-dependent flow fields by considering the behavior of the path lines. At<br>selected positions in the 4D space-time domain, we compute a number of local<br>and global properties of path lines describing relevant features of them. The<br>resulting multivariate data set is analyzed by applying state-of-the-art <br>information<br>visualization approaches in the sense of a set of linked views (scatter<br>plots, parallel coordinates, etc.) with interactive brushing and focus+context<br>visualization. The selected path lines with certain properties are integrated<br>and visualized as colored 3D curves. This approach allows an interactive <br>exploration<br>of intricate 4D flow structures. We apply our method to a number<br>of flow data sets and describe how path line attributes are used for describing<br>characteristic features of these flows.},
