Ok so i've been scouring the net for a tutorial, but couldn't find any..so i decided to take at stab at it myself trying to make a nuclear explosion. ‘I’ve been using houdini for 11 months, so there's a huge amount of stuff i still don't know, so forgive my ignorance in advance. I'm trying to keep the ‘Stalk’ of the explosion to move upward without dissipating too much and causing the smoke to make that weird shape in my pic below. Also i'm trying to keep the mushroom cloud more “mushroomy”, i know that's not even a word.. lol Below is the hip file. My render pic is the first pic. The second picture is what i would like to accomplish. I know i'm close, but if aaaaaanyone can help me, or point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this task i would be most appreciative. Thanks guys :
I updated the pic below as of January 15 2016, so far at 4 seconds into the sim this is what i have its a low res screen shot at 720p
Nuclear explosion,can someone help me, pic and file included

hey 5dn any bit of info or ideas help, so i appeciate the response..i definitely think so too, i've been adjusting dissipation , bouyancy etc..at one point i thought i got it.. but by frame 155 the stalk of the explosion had totally disconnected from the emitter.. so it was back to trying to get just the right amount of force from the emitter to keep the explosion rising up without, blowing out of proportion or having it dissipate to quickly causing the stalk to look weird while the mushroom is rising
