PIC/FLIP Fluid Simulation - Liquid Voxels
This animation was simulated in a fluid simulation program that I am writing. The program outputs a triangle mesh for each simulated frame which is then imported into Blender and rendered using Cycles.
Simulation visualization was rendered in Blender.

Frames 739 (30fps)
Simulation time 59.9 hours
Render time 117.8 hours (125 samples)
Total time 177.7 hours
Simulation/voxel resolution 384 x 160 x 160
Peak # of fluid particles 35 Million
Peak # of diffuse particles 5 Million
Peak # of voxels 1.6 Million
