I want to add velocity to normal direction in smoke sim

Hi guys.

I want to add velocity to normal direction of smoke's source mesh in smoke sim, I tried by "point sop" and "vop force" but I didn't fix it. I can do this for popnet It was so easy.

I need to set key frame that velocity so I'd like to this by vex.

Do someone have idea? help me please!!!

thank you.

Thank you so much for your kindness!!!

That is just what I want however, I got some question,, You write advice and something on sticky in Houdini.

You said that "We use the N, but often you can use v, the velocity of a particle system."

is not "Use N" so cool way? so, should I make v attribute in sphere geo what move normal direction? or something? sorry if its stupid question. 

Like this scene what I uploaded

but my scene is not good,,especially moving normal directioin

Using N of a geometry is good, you do not need to make v for your geo

they are different things, both good - its only a choice

normal is most used as static direction - it does not move.

If your moving your smoke against a wall, pushing it down a path - simply moving your smoke by geometry that does not move, N is good.

But say you animate your sphere, its movement is stored in velocity. Using v will make your smoke move like your animated sphere.

Or you can push your smoke around by a particle system.

all is good and cool :P with time it will be familiar to you
