Hello,

Can you get us a screenshot of the result and your settings or the scene itself so we can see what is going on?

Hi, this is because of the temperature - it's in Kelvins - 200 is below 0 Celsius, so the smoke will fall down instead of rising up, like in this (quite old) scene:

If you want to simulate fire, you need to set the temperature to at least 1000.

Cheers!

thank you,but i don't want to simulate fire,i just want to keep it still,just like this[IMG][/IMG]

Ah, I see - then just un-check the temperature and it will not try to move neither up or down

thank you for your help.
