Dear Dr. Law,

We've come up with an idea for our project and would like your feedback.
If you don't think it's appropriate (too hard, too easy, or irrelevant
to the course), please let us know.

The idea is about visualizing a fluid flow, e.g., a tornado. The flow
data, i.e., the velocity of flow at each point, will have to be generated
or acquired externally. Our program will implement two of the techniques
frequently used to visualize the flow, namely,

1) Streamlines. The program will create streamlines, made of curve lines
or thin ribbons, as the first approach the visualize the flow. The user
may change the view point and view direction to observe the flow from
different angles.

2) Animation of flowing particles. In this approach, one or more particles
are dropped into the flow and the program will create an animation of the
particles moving along the flow, in real time I hope. The user may choose
where to drop the particles and how many of them.

Regards,
Jack Chih-Chun Wei
