Massive vorticity

[jstrob]

Hi,

I would like to know a bit more about the 3 settings for the massive smoke vorticity. I'm trying to use one at a time to know what they do but I have trouble figuring it out.

Hey,

The surface options create turbulences at the surface without disturbing the inner flow so that the massive vorticity won't break your fluid's motion as the standard vorticity does. It's split into separate smoke and temperature multipliers so that can have vorticity e.g. in a fire-only simulation.

The large-scale multiplier tries to reinforce the big vortex flows in the simulator - much like the conservation does, but it does not respect obstacles, so might not always be wanted in a setup.

Ok great thanks!

So that's why the temp one didn't have effect on my smoke only sim.
