A little hidden feature of Niagara is the ability to mesh particles as blobs. With a bit of work you can fake a liquid sim, make blood or mud splatters and other liquid FX which would otherwise be hard to simulate. This is a bonus lessons inside Niagara Liquids.

I'm testing out real-time water simulations in Unreal 5.8. Here I'm spawning about 1.3M GPU particles per second for the liquid, and ~40K/s for splash & foam.
