This daemon is useful for simulating the well-known rotational motion of liquids when they disappear in a plug hole or similar effects.

 

 

Affect

With “Force” it takes a little time to display the daemon's full influence and the result is a curved stream of particles. “Velocity” directly affects the particles from the very beginning without any delay or acceleration, and you will get a linear particle stream. “Velocity” is not available for rigid/soft bodiesThere are two options:

  • "Force" accelerates the particles and they become faster and faster as long as the force is acting on them. 
  • “Velocity” only works with particles and adds the daemon's "Strength" value to a particle's speed. The resulting peak velocity remains constant during the simulation.
    An example: Let's assume the daemon's "Strength" is 9.8 and the emitter's "Speed" value is 2.0. Here, a particle's velocity will be roughly 11.8 m/s.
Strength

This is the strength of the rotational force around the daemon’s centre axis. Strength” accepts positive (clockwise) and negative (counter-clockwise) values.
