Abstract: In the article the relevance of development of specialized hardware-software complexes for visualization, the enhancement of algorithms of visual representation of data and the extension of opportunities of data display systems are discussed. Creation of a specialized distributed environment in order to solve 3D interactive visualization tasks of numerical simulation results of microwave discharge is described. Visualization of a computing mesh allowed to make visual estimates and to introduce necessary amendments in interactive mode. The realized distributed architecture of visualization supports easy migration of computing environment between instrumental visualization tools (consolidated or client's), providing an opportunity to scale the total amount of data and resolution of the images. Results of 3D visualization of the spatial distribution of the microwave field strength are shown on the example of a self-consistent simulation of argon plasma generated by means of the Beenakker cavity. The Spatial visualization by means of local cross sections of the computational domain let us discover an internal structure and features of the distribution of electron concentration in the discharge tube.
