Hi, currently I'm trying to do a simulation of a water stream. (basically a guy peeing).
I've create a Volume cure and particles will flow along the curve. But right now, after i've converted nparticles>polygon, the mesh, especially some minor droplets, it keeps vibrating, rotating, making minor random shapes when it's falling down.. I've googled and look for tutorial but couldn't find a solution. So i've decided to try and post my question here.. Thank you very much

Try increasing the damp, and/or the friction.

Nope, it doesn't work... user added image

If u look at those round droplets, it keeps making weird shapes..

I don't know, it doesn't look that unrealistic to me, if you see slow mo video of water droplets, they shimmer around a bit. But if you really want it more stable, you should be able to. Do you have any fields in the simulation?
