Like many other VFX tools, fluids now has SOP level tools to create a better experience for artists.
These tools include support for viscocity, arbitrary boundaries and upresing of sims for closeup shots.

The library of waves now include the Encino Waves which are much easier for artists to get a believable ocean look. Kelvin Wakes can also be added using a deformation tool from SideFX Labs.

The Shallow Water solver is a new solution which works on height fields making it essentially a 2D fluid simulation. This allows for strong interactions with the landscape as the fluid fills the space.
