A cool magnetic field visualization

Anonym Thursday, August 15, 2013

Carmen Lucas, a scientist at DRDC Atlantic in Dartmouth, NS, created this visualization with IDL:

(click to embiggen)

Carmen explains that this is:

... the magnetic scalar potential surface and contour, and associated magnetic flux density vector field B. Note the flux density field getting "pumped" uphill inside the two magnets as shown on the surface plot.

It's been awhile since I've shown a cool visualization made with IDL, so thank you, Carmen, for sharing this!

Dr. Purnanand

Dear Dr. Lucas, Nice graphics.. I am also looking to generate these type of figures, however with different tilt angels (I mean second figure has to be titled vertically), for a research paper. Your advice is highly solicited. I will be thankful to you if you can provide code to me, so that my work will be easy.

Thanks in advance....
