Liquid Sphere Explosion...

[Arkanis]

No Blender guru around to help me ? :D

OK, I'm not a guru, and at the risk of sounding totally stupid:

Turn of all gravitational forces. Have a sphere of fluid float in the middle of the domain. Inside that sphere there is another sphere which is your obstacle. I think it is better that this obstacle is not a perfect sphere, but rather a little irregular in shape, a potato if you will. This obstacle should be totally transparant/ invisible and it should be scaled to almost 0. Now animate this obstacle by scaling it very fast. I hope that this will get the explosion your looking for.

or you could make the tiny obstacle just fly trough the water, very fast, many times, from different sides/angles perhaps, as for it not going to be seen, just turn the rendering of it off in the outliner.

edit: and im no fluids guru either.. :/

better place for asking this would be blenderartists.org forum.

Seems to me that you can animate the gravitational forces too. So for the domain start with x,y,z =0 and grow the fluid ball. But around this ball, there is an invisible obstacle asteroidbelt of sorts (or a shell with lots of random holes). Growing this ball quickly and making it splash against the obstacle might do the trick.
