Realflow may be great for
viscous fluids like water

I wouldn’t exactly call
it great. You can force it but there’s limits to what it’ll do and
if you push it more than a bit it starts to creak at the edges. It’s also
very limited in terms of texturing. And you can’t get it to foam which is
quite a limitation.
but it's lacking when it
comes to gases, fire and clouds. With a bit of effort XSI's particle system can
produce nice work but it's completely lack of a voxel based CFD solver pushes
it way behind the curve. Just about every competing package has a CFD solver
either natively or via plugins. I'm really hoping Flowline or thinking
particles makes it's way to XSI sometime soon.
