DY - Emitters

08 Oct, 2015

In order to create a fluid volume it is always necessary to add a Dyverso emitter, because it defines the point of emission:

The → domain will hold the particles and provides the fluid-specific parameters like viscosity or density.
With the emitter's "Type" option it is possible to switch between the different shapes (circle, square, triangle, etc.).
Daemons have to be linked with the emitter's corresponding domain.

The different Dyverso emitter types.

Working with Multiple Emitters

Here are a few rules for working with multiple emitters:

It is possible to attach as many emitters to a single domain as you want.
You can link specific emitters to a certain domain in RealFlow's → "Relationship Editor".
Particles from different domains are able to interact.
All emitters which belong to the same domain share exactly the same physical properties (viscosity, density, etc.),
Therefore it is not possible to simulate fluids with different density, e.g. water and oil, or water and foam.

This screenshot shows a typical setup with multiple domains and emitters:

Emitters must be unlinked from the → hub node (select one or more links with the mouse and press Del).
To link specific nodes draw a line between with a pressed Ctrl/Cmd key.
Daemons can also be linked individually to make them act on specific domains only.
"Gravity01" acts on all domains, because it is connected with the domains via "Hub01".
