Just working my way through the Mantaflow simulator.
slowly understanding its parameters and way resolution work.
It's quick to achieve fire, small explosions, medium explosions, etc.
I am still trying to achieve a really thick smoke explosion.

I think more than simulators, I need to study the anatomy of the explosion and how to detail out the initial reaction which shapes the overall explosion.
Will post better renders soon.
