I had a similar idea : to add a source term in the bulk of the water body in
order to create water volume in order to compensate the lost. It should be
very easy to do.

I just found a problem of offset between the mesh of the object and the
isosurface representing it ...

Amazing. Beautifull and funny. They used the realflow tool of the NextLimit
company. It's an impressive tool
(http://www.nextlimit.com/realflow/index.html and see the Galery). It uses
particules and gives more freedom than in my "small" simulation (I use an
isosurface representing the water body).
