Thanks!

> You can always use CSG to "clip" the water. Maybe that's what you did.

No, I just left them inside the other objects.  Although I should clip them
to speed things up.

Blobs.  I find it does a pretty good job.  The more particles there are, the
smoother water-like it gets.  I think there are 700 particles in this
animation.

> Does the simulation change if you change the frame-rate of the animation?

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if I change the number of frames,
then it does get smoother and slower.  Basically, every frame I rotate the
particles by 360*clock around the center.  So the more frames, the more
often the particles get drawn.
