Hello all,

I am emitting fluid from particles, but I was wondering if I can use the same particles to use as a field for the fluid. Is there such a way to emit and affect fluid at the same time? Thank you for reading my post!

Sure you can.
Look into the gas_particle_to_field dop microsolver. You can transfer the velocity from the particles (or from points in sops) to a custom field in dops. You can then add that field to your velocity field in dops.

So in a way you are creating a custom velocity field. You might find this interesting for further reading:

You can also create the field in SOPs using volume from attrib and then bring the field into DOPs using SOP Vector Field.
