Combining Fluid and Particle Dynamics
Introduction
Rising smoke, clouds, nuclear blast, nebulous gas are common examples of volumetric effects. There already exist many production-proved models, such as using lots of planes and spheres with projected textures, to render the look of these fluid-like effects. But it is still extremely difficult to achieve realistic fluid dynamics with the common technique of adding together force fields to drive the motion of passive unconnected particles.
1.Create a 2D fluid container with the properties like this.
2.Add a volume type emitter to the container, translate and scale it like this. Playback to view the simulation.
