One amazing GUI/visualization tool I use everyday for investigating computation fluid dynamics simulations is ParaView[0]. At the very least, it's a opensource GUI built on top of VTK used for visualizing CFD results, developed by the incredible developers at Kitware (same company that develops CMake). Under the hood, it allows you to separate your client from a {data,rendering} server so that you can visualize large datasets from a small laptop utilizing a client/server model.
Besides just data investigation using the GUI, all visualization workflows can be automated either through their python wrapper, or directly through the C++ API. The fact that you can automate the slicing/dicing and post-processing of CFD results on a server remotely using Python still blows my mind.
I wouldn't normally associate CFD with data science, but in a way, analyzing CFD results is starting to require the kind of scale of big data, and can certainly be done with the help of a GUI.
