Video of both heatflux and electrostatic potential (phi)

This video contains the visualization of both iron heat flux (top row) and electrostatic potential (bottom row). The left and right columns were rendered by using linear and log color mapping, respectively.

Initial Images: Correlation between Potential and Ion heat flux

The images below are a collection of thumnails taken from 32 timesteps in the middle of the simulation. The images are ordered from left to right, and top to bottom in time. In each image, x-axis represents potential and y-axis represents ion heat flux. A periodic expansion and shrinking of regions with dense data points can be observed.

The shape of the regions with dense data points is similar to a pyramid. The following three images are generated from a cross-section of the mesh that corresponds to the dense regions shown above. From top to bottom, the images are corresponding to an early, a middle and a later time step.
