How to get better liquid renderings?

Phoenix General

Hi

I have two week test period for phoenix. From my experience about year ago, I can get good results with smoke, but liquids are still problematic.
Simulations works just fine → stable solutions with ok speed. I just don’t know what to do to get rid of the artifacts. See the example video.

There is all kind of wiggle and unexpected behavior going on. Not bad, but not usable in productions.

Any ideas how to make it better?

use strong surface mode and zero sharpness, this is the best option for slime liquids.

What about the surface level? Should I keep it in the default 0.5 value?

yes, it have to be changed in very few cases.
