Visualisation of particle movement using graphics libraries

Abstract

In modern mechanical systems, the problem of visualising particle movement is an important one. Often, particles are numerous, their movement is fast and complicated. Thus, visualising particles on a computer screen uses up much computing resources. To achieve a good quality visualisation of particles on a computer screen modern graphics libraries need to be used because then the process of visualisation is vastly expedited. In this article, the possibilities for visualising particle movement using graphics libraries is analysed.
