Dampening velocity in Pyro sim's/Gas Damp microsolver

Hi,
I'm currently running Houdini FX (NC) 13.0.509, and would like to ask a question about velocity dampening with pyro sim's.

I have a very simple pyro set up, with a torus and straight off the shelf pyro ‘smokless flames’ and have been trying to add dampening to the velocity of the flames using the ‘gas damp’ microsolver. I have it connected to the 3rd input ‘velocity update’ but get no change in the sim, no matter what changes I make in the parameters.

Is there another method of dampening velocity in pyro sims, or am I making a fundamental error?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect your target speed parameter might be too low try increasing based on your velocities.

Thanks GM. Yeah, bumping that up did have an effect.

Cheers
