Mist behavior different with cage resolution

[Truffi]

Hi,
I have simulated two coean sims with same settings, the only difference being the cage resolution (high 200mio and low 2mio).

The flying mist is controlled by a plain source and a subtle turbulence. Unfortunally with the high res sim the mist seems to be dying too fast as can be seen in the viewportgrabs I attached.
I want the mist in the high-res sim to behave like the low-res one (flying consistently away from the crests towards the shore for some time).

Can you think of a method how to achieve this?
Maybe increasing life expectancy of the mist somehow does the trick, but how?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hey,

You can check how the Mist particles work in here - https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...les+Life+Cycle

You can play around with the Mist air drag value or add a Plain Force that affects only the Mist particles and push the particles in the desired direction.

Is there a way to simply make mist particles live longer before they dissappear?

[georgi.zhekov]

The mist particles are dying based on these conditions :

• On entering the Liquid volume
• On contact with a Solid geometry
• If outside the Simulator + Particle Age > Simulator Splash rollout Max Outside Age
• If inside the volume of a geometry with Clear Inside property + Mist in Clear Channel list

In your case they are entering the liquid so you will need to push them around with the force or change the mist air drag.

Indeed, with a plain force that has only the mist particles in its Affect list, you should be able to blow the particles from the tops of the waves towards the shore. You could angle it so it points up a bit, because right now the mist and splash particles will definitely die in the very moment they touch the liquid surface.
