Fluids, heat transfer and mechanical engineering
Conduction and convection fields, vortex dynamics, velocimetry, turbomachinery and the design charts engineers still size equipment from. Vector fields need thinning before they are legible, conjugate heat problems need a colour scale that is honest about sign, and the classical design charts – Moody, pump curves, airfoil polars – are log-log or twin-axis figures by construction.
