Fluid Simulation: Blender

Solved
Hello,

I'm trying out the fluid simulator but I have a problem...
How do I get "water" to flow through a pipe? I've selected the domain, the fluid (inflow) and the obstacle (a spring-shaped tube).

But the problem is that the liquid flows through the tube but spills out a bit: it follows the shape of the obstacle but clumps are coming out...

Thank you for letting me know how to fix it or where to find a detailed tutorial.

  1. try increasing the thickness of the pipe. it should work

      1. Hello,
        thanks for the advice ;-)
        What does that mean? Have you solved your problem? If so, let me know.

      2. I don't have the software on hand, I will report when the problem is resolved and I will practice.

    2. Even by enlarging the cylinder, the fluid still overflows... I don’t know why, thank you anyway.

      1. Seb is not talking about enlarging the cylinder, but about increasing its thickness.
        A pipe has a diameter AND a thickness (not to mention its length).

      2. Thank you, I'll give it a try and see how it goes ;-)

      3. If you created a cylinder without applying Solidify or creating any thickness, well, we can consider that it has no thickness.. Curious, isn't it? ;)
        On BlenderClan, this question comes up regularly regarding fluids and pipe or container thicknesses. You need to create a pipe, not just a simple cylinder.

        Easy to achieve:
        create the cylinder, tool panel (T) > fill "Nothing" (my blender is in French, it is advisable to leave it in English, the language of 3D). Press "E," then "G" to confirm the Extrusion, right-click to cancel the "G," then "S" + Shift+Z (to restrict the Scale on the Z axis)..

      4. My fluids always overflow even with Solidify...
        But now, I often use Solidify to make models look nicer, more realistic...

      5. My fluids always overflow even with Solidify...
        On this subject, I'm not talking about using Solidify to give thickness to your pipe. ;)
