Visualizing field force (or other force) vectors

[AlexC]

Hello
I'm trying to achieve an effect that involved "visualizing" a turbulence field.
I followed Noseman's tutorial on creating a pyro simulation on a candle wick, and everything is working ok (the resolution of the simulation is a bit blocky, but I can probably upres).
I'd like to visualize the turbulence field that is touching the candle, a bit like what you see when you put down a force field, or like X-Particles visualizing tools for forces.
Is there any way to do this with built-in tools? Could it be a particle sim that is affected by the turbulence but with some kind of arrow sprite?

Thanks for any suggestions, here is my project file

Hi AlexC,

Not by default, and yes, that would be easy in X-Particles.

How about this show here, leading to your desired particular effect?

All the best

P.S.: This is the simplest way to showcase "turbulence" or, better, Animated Noise controlled via a Field.

Thank you Sassi! Am going to dive into all this today

You're very welcome, AlexC.
