Have you seen RealFlow? I was having fun with their fluid physics simulator a few years ago, it's really good.

It looks cool, but I find that there's a characteristic "blobby" look to these simulations, especially visible in mostly flat parts or whenever thin sheets of liquid form and break apart. I imagine that increased resolution can mitigate it but the cost eventually becomes prohibitive even for offline simulation so people settle for "good enough". And I think foam/bubbles are usually kind of hacky (when present at all) rather than being simulated in a principled way.
