Four Colors Fluid Simulation in a Tube_GPU path_500 samples, 6 depth_dnpg with caustics_64'000 bubbles_8h58m28s

Four Colors Fluid Simulation in a Tube_difference 500 to 461 samples, pgi_with_caustics path_depth 6 to pgi_no_caustics path_depth 42; gamma 2.0, brightness 4

This time total path depth showed an impact of render speed (approx. 25%) but also very obvious on image quality. For me it is a little mistery how good the bubbles are visible and how wrong the glass tube looks like. One may know the tube is multi layered, it cconsists actually of two similar glass tube of which one is slightly smaller. This way collision detection quality is increased but does not make much sense for the final render. The next shot is with total path depth 6 and the other three depths set to 5. The same setting as for the picture in this post but with second tube set invisble.

The bubble line is not straight with glass wall. Can you boolean modifier cut the bubbles with glass mesh and ctrl-L delete all bubbles that got unmanifold?

With particles from simulation it is not so easy to follow your suggestion. It is easier to increase the size of the tube to avoid overlapping with the bubbles. I will set up this as next.

Total path depth 22, the other dephts 20.

Not really what the image is supposed to look like.

Further ivestigation is required, to understand what is going here with the bubbles in the water inside the tube. Might be a priority issue of volumes or so. Thought up to date this should follow air p=0, tube p=1, liquid p=2, bubbles made from water with air outside and inside. Because it is actually an at least three phase problem I don't know exactly what to set here.

The tube contains a liquid (water). Around tube and above the liquid is air (clear volume).

The liquid has a top surface, the first outer volume (air), the liquid is in the tube, the second outer volume (glass) and the liquid has its own inner volume.

The bubble is made from water and air. Its inner outer volume is air, its inner volume is water, is outer outer volume is the liquid (water) or air (if the bubble is on the surface of the liquid).

I am bit lost due to missing logical solutions of these two trilemas.

Well, thank you, at least it was a try worth. I permuted the few possibilities but none of them showed just any close to real image.

It was not me if I did not try a new approach by following my intuition after the first not appropriate looking pictures. I should not have rejected this solution. The first 175 samples look promising. I will post it as soon I am confident with the result.

Thanks for the little punch.

All path depths are 16. The gif is animated.
EDIT: first version of gif replaced, due to wrong sized frames.

Collisions still look dark,
Can you share the scene?
------
EDIT

I guess it's the material color, when red green blue get in same area, light can't get through. So it's correct.
With null material and small absorption for bubble volume, the light path depth would continue forever and the speed should be much slower with high path depth.

Yes, absorption of the colored liquid-air bubbles is a bit too strong, what leads to black if r,g,b is substractive mixed.

My actual idea was always to share the scene as soon as I am confident with it. The scenes is close to be ready to be shared.
I will reduce the absorption and setup two or three particle systems ready to be simulated if has one enabled plugin ‚Molecular Script‘ in Blender user preferences.

Change the amount of bubbles in each emitter to the value you wish.
Run the plugin 'Molecular Script' simulation and then render the image or the animation.
