  • With a value of 1.0, the fluid will not move more than the distance of 1 particle diameter in the current time step.
  • With values smaller than 1.0, the fluid can cover a longer distance within a single step – the solver is less strict.
Max neighbors

Dyverso This parameter is only relevant for → GPU simulations. Dyverso looks for neighbours to create the links and constraints between them. By default, 100 particles will be taken into consideration:

  • The less neighbours, the faster the simulation, but you might see stability problems.
  • We recommend using the pre-adjusted value and enable the OpenCL- or CUDA-GPU modes to speed up your simulations.
Use

...

The search for neighbour particles is done within a constant radius. If you want to use dynamic search radii instead enable this option.

Use Geometry Velocity

When enabled RealFlow will adjust the simulation's substeps to get a correct fluid-object interaction behaviour:

...

  • Higher values increase simulation time and can time but also maybe lead to instabilities. We recommend moderate increases of just a few substeps.
  • For a fixed number of substeps use equal values for “MIN substeps” and “MAX substeps”.
  • The default value normally provides the best ratio between speed and accuracy.

  • Higher values increase simulation time and can time but also maybe lead to instabilities. Try using values around the default setting.
