i was actually heading towards this but went a bit off-piste:
the key seems to be not fully undiverging the vel, to avoid the path to mushroom city? i failed horribly tryna do it with the smoke solver. also didn’t get far with Gas Enforce Boundary so just mult stuff down at the edge of the shape… finally it sources extra vel from the gradient of the ink field so the edges constantly push outwards
