Examples of Scientific Data representation through D3.js

I am Data Vis Research student. I am working on the report on D3.js on various data attributes/types. I have had a hard time, finding any good example of scientific Data representation through D3.js. I have been through few of the visualization based on gravity, momentum, force directed graph. But, I am unable to find any example that can show scientific experimental results like Chemical fusion, Einstein law in action, growth or depletion of cells in some body, Black hole functioning etc... wherein if we change values of data variables, it shows the difference in visualization.

I hope its not too much from D3.js

Most of the charts found in scientific publications are fairly standard; scatter plots, histograms or line charts are widely used. If you need to create custom charts for specialized purposes, I would recommend ggplot2 and D3.

Based in the examples mentioned in your question, I guess that you are asking if D3 is a good tool to create simulations of physical or chemical processes. I think that simple simulations can be implemented in the browser, although it would probably require to implement solvers for algebraic and differential equations in most cases.

In any case, the force layout gravity and charge attributes are an analogy to the physical gravity and charge, they are not computed in the same way that the real gravity and charge forces, and thus, the force layout is not suitable for physical simulation.
