The water simulation with APIC is intended to be less restless than FLIP and create a calmer water surface. With Effex, the 3D artist can control where the water should become turbulent without the algorithm dictating it.
You can find all further information about Effex here. Effex 2.8 is not yet available, but the version can be preordered.
