'restParticleDistance' : Rest distance of particles

The typical particle distance of particles in the rest state (relaxed). Defines the particle resolution of the fluid. This property can't be changed after the particle fluid has been created. Must be positive.

'stiffness' : The stiffness of the particle interaction related to the pressure

This factor linearly scales the force which acts on particles which are closer to each other than the rest spacing. Setting this parameter appropriately is crucial for the simulation. The right value depends on many factors such as viscosity and damping. Values which are too high will result in an unstable simulation, whereas too low values will make the fluid appear "springy" (the fluid acts more compressible). Must be positive.

'viscosity' : The viscosity of the fluid defines its viscous behavior

Higher values will result in a honey-like behavior. Viscosity is an effect which depends on the relative velocity of neighboring particles; it reduces the magnitude of the relative velocity. Must be positive.
