The growing complexity and sheer amount of data resulting from superco
mputer simulations increases the need for new and intuitive analysis t
echniques such as VR. In this paper we present a scalable VR system in
tegrated in a distributed and collaborative visualization and simulati
on environment which can be used for scientific data analysis and comp
utational steering in several application domains. After discussing th
e requirements for:uch a system we describe the basic architecture of
the VR environment. We then give some examples of currently investigat
ed application domains in the areas of water turbine optimization and
space vehicle re-entry and comet impact simulation involving metacompu
ting on a trans-atlantic scale. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
