In the DragForce module drag amounts greater than one can accelerate the particle instead of slowing it down.

In the DragForce module drag amounts greater than one can accelerate the particle instead of slowing it down.

UDN
Description

Drag force allows for values greater than 1, which can cause the drag force to exceed the initial velocity, which will continue to compound until a NaN is reached or the particle's lifetime is up.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create an emitter and system based on the fountain template
  2. Change the drag in Drag Force to 100

RESULT

Particles spew at high speeds in both directions. 

EXPECTED

Particles would fall in the direction of gravity slowly
