Most of the sci-fic spaceships use fuel as their energy source. It is fire at the stern that powers the spaceship. This idea thinks the opposite - a  spaceship powered/pushed by liquid.

Response:
A simplified spaceship model will be created. Liquid animation will be the main focus in this exercise. It is expected to figure out an interesting way to ‘animate’ the liquid animation (rotate? spread? splash? or mix?) This exercise plays around the possible way to generate a liquid animation. As the simulation takes time, only limited tests will be explored.
