This paper describes a prototype distributed virtual reality system for real-time spatial and temporal navigation of volumetric data generated by simulations of hydrodynamic turbulence on high-performance computers. This system makes use of a virtual environment connected to a scalably parallel computer via a scalably high-speed network. The data are either computed in real-time or precomputed on the parallel computer, then are transferred to the virtual environment where fast volume visualization is accomplished by using sophisticated three-dimensional texture-mapping hardware.
