I don't quite follow you. I can't really see the individual spheres
myself, nor the blobby transitions you mention, and I don't think it
looks very flat.

Do you mean the ones on this page:

He has made some impressive smoke animations, but those are completely
out of context. It is definitely not the smoke of explosions, and the
smoke is of a much smaller scale than the smoke in my animation. Since
the smoke he simulates and the smoke I simulate are of entirely
different kinds, I find myself unable to really do any comparisons
between them.

It would be very helpful if you could show me a reference image or video
clip of a real explosion to point out which things I need to change. :)
