We present a novel technique for analyzing the geometry of streamlines
representing large scale flow fields produced in scientific simulations. We
introduce the box counting ratio, a metric related to the Kolmogorov capacity
or box counting dimension, for quantifying geometric complexity of
streamlines (or streamline segments). We utilize this metric to drive a
visual analytic framework for extracting, organizing and representing
features of varying sizes from large number of streamlines. This framework
allows the user to easily visualize and interact with the features otherwise
hidden in large data. We present case studies using combustion and climate
simulation datasets.
