Yeah when working with voxels you need to be careful. You can easily obliterate any system if you scale them down too small. It is a lot of data your working with.
As for phoenixFD, it is a fluid/gas solver for calculating fluid dynamics. You only need to use it if your are doing some sort of liquid or smoke/fire simulation and you want your particle to swirl the same way. Tyflow doesnt have its own fluid solver implementation, it only has a basic physics collision system. You can use phoenix to push your particles around (fluid force operator) to make effects such as an underwater ink, super wispy smoke or a fluid splash. Phoenix does have the ability to emit its own particles for said effects, however you dont have nearly as much control as you do with the tyflow particles. You can also partition the tyflow particles (prt cache operator) to get a much denser particle cloud and smoother rendering results, at the cost of HDD space.
