Hmm ... looks better every time ...
I'm wondering if there is a way to bring these small particles, that escaped
back to the mainstream ...

I think small groups of particles are OK but if these groups get to small
(maybe n<5) then they should tend to go back to the mainstream,
!OR maybe should create some new particles in THIS group with the current
speed of THIS group (+ a small amount of jittering)

dunno, if this can be implemented ... maybe its a bad idea at all, but that's
what I consider the most unrealistic

but a good work so far .... looking forward ..

here's a possible fix. How about this: when you're figuring out where a
particle should go, and you realize that it's about to hit the floor, and
its Y velocity is less than a certain threshold value, then you set its Y
velocity to zero. Then, whenever you find a particle that is both resting on
the floor and has a Y velocity of zero, you multiply its X and Z velocities
by some constant less than 1. That will simulate friction, and may prevent
droplets from rolling away really quickly.

Well, I'm already using a friction parameter, even if it's quite low. I made
experiments with bigger values and in fact it looked more viscous.

Very impressive! I watched it at least 30 times, than I had to force
me to quit - else I would still be watching.
Very cool!

This is impressive!

However, am I correct in the assumption that if the box rotates fast, then
some particles (possible many) will fall through the surface of the box?
(Though this effect can be decreased by using more calculation steps per
time unit.)

Holy divx...
I have the mpeg version, which also looks better, but it's 1.5 MB :-(. So
it's not likely to be posted here...

Not only, the effect will look unrealistic unless you take into account the
extra mechanical energy given by the rotating box (which now is irrelevant).
