ENGLISH:
►WHAT IS "VISCOSITY"?
It's the fluids resistance to collisions. So viscous fluids like cream, honey or oil don't fit into shapes as good/fast as low viscosity fluids like alcohol, water or milk. That is because the forces between the particles(molecules) are stronger. In fact, extremely high viscous fluids like glass(room temperature) will behave like solid materials and fracture. (Please do not try to simulate glass with "Liquid" particles in RF because the fluid algorithm is not optimized for such high viscosity values)
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►WHAT IS "VISCOSITY" GOOD FOR?
Viscosity is one of the most important parameters if you want to create different substances like: liquid chocolate, ice cream, honey, etc. It is essential for sticky fuids.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF HIGH VISCOSITY VALUES?
1. You have to use more substeps per frame=longer simulation time(=ST).
2. "Too" big values will cause instability or failures like crashes(application), unexpected explosions of fluid, particles "fly" trough objects, unexpected waves, high "vibration" and other unphysical results.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►MY SIMULATION IS INSTABLE BECAUSE OF HIGH VISCOSITY VALUES. HOW TO FIX THIS?
I'll do a video about stability/speed when I've got time again. Click on the arrow next to the "Simulate" button and go to "Options...". Increase the "MIN substeps"/"MAX substeps" values. ATTENTION: High "MAX substeps" values will slow down your simulation! If this doesn't work then you might be out of RAM.
The MAX substeps value should be larger than the particles highest velocity(SPH scale=1) and about near to the viscosity value(or higher). In the video the fluids viscosity was 5000 and MAX substeps was 4800.
For MIN substeps: Change to fixed substeps and run the simulation. Start with a high value and decrease slowly. Stop when the fluid becomes instable. Add 5-15% to you last stable value and you have your MIN substeps value.




GERMAN - DEUTSCH:
►WAS IST "VISCOSITY"?
Viscosity(engl.)=Viskosität
Dieser Parameter gibt die Zähflüssigkeit der Flüssigkeit an. Je höher desto zähflüssiger. Extrem hohe Werte können zu einem Verhalten wie bei Glas oder stark erhitzten Metallen führen.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►WOZU BRAUCHE ICH "VISCOSITY"?
Viskosität ist entscheidend für das Simulieren von verschiedenen Flüssigkeiten wie: Honig, Creme, Wasser, flüssige Schokolade, etc.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►WAS SIND NEGATIVE FOLGEN EINER HOHEN VISKOSITÄT?
1. Es müssen mehr Zwischenschritte(="substeps") pro Frame berechnet werden=längere Simulationszeit(=ST).
2. "Sehr" große Werte werden Instabilität oder Fehler wie abrupter Absturz, unerwartete Explosionen, Partikel "fliegen" durch Objekte, spontan entsehende Wellen, unruhige("vibrierende") Partikel oder andere unphysikalische Ausgaben zur Folge haben.
●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●
►MEINE SIMULATION IST INSTABIL, WEIL MEINE VISKOSITÄT ZU HOCH IST. WAS SOLL ICH TUN?
Lösung ohne Erklärung: Auf den Pfeil neben "Simulate" klicken, dann auf "Options..." und jetzt die Werte für "MAX substeps" erhöhen. ACHTUNG: Hohe Werte verlängern die Simulationszeit.
Der "MAX substeps" Wert sollte höher sein als die maximale Geschwindigkeit der Partikel der Flüssigkeit und ungefähr so groß, wie der Viskositätswert(oder höher).
"MIN substeps" sollte der kleinstmögliche stabile Wert(+ 5-15%) für die Simulation sein. Einfach auf "Fixed substeps" umstellen und Werte ausprobieren. Den letzten stabilen Wert dann in in "MIN substeps" einfügen!

  • I just downloaded realflow and i have no idea how to create that red and white thing. is there a button for?

  • @hatemyneigboor

    No there is no button for this effect. I just added a gardient to the material of the fluid in 3ds max and rendered it in Krakatoa (3ds max). If you have any other questions on how this video was done and not about the parameter "Viscosity", then please send me a PM.

  • oh my god! this is the problem ive had when simulation a thick fluid, they either get an annoying gap between them or i have that melt effect immediately, even getting a gap with 64 32 and 16 viscosity. thanks!

  • Very very good tutorials to start learning from ,they could be made official...
