Getting water to settle quickly in a container?

[harrye123]

Hi, is there a way to get water particles to settle more quickly in a container? I'm working with a large scene using the gridfluiddomain method and I want the particles to all settle in the container before working on the simulation. At the moment I've simulated quite a few thousand frames, and its still not totally settled down. I tried putting the gravity strength right up, but its still taking a long time and its really increased the simulation time. Is there an easier way?

Cheers,

Hi harrye123,

Try using a Drag daemon to remove some velocity from the water. That should slow it down and settle it.
