In order to achieve the same simulation look when changing the Time Scale, the Steps Per Frame value must be changed accordingly. For example, when decreasing the Time Scale from 1.0 to 0.5, Steps Per Frame must be decreased from 4 to 2. All animated objects in the scene (moving objects and sources) must be adjusted as well.

Time Scale different than 1 will affect the Buildup Time of Particle/Voxel Tuners and the Phoenix Mapper. In order to get predictable results you will have to adjust the buildup time using this formula:
Time Scale * Time in frames / Frames per second

Active Bodies Mult | fluidToSolidInteractionMult - A multiplier for the effect of the Velocity channel on the Active Bodies in the Simulator. To convert a polygon object into an Active Body, enable the Active Body checkbox in the Phoenix FD Properties for that object.

Default RGB | lq_default_rgb - The Simulator is filled with this RGB color at simulation start. The Default RGB is also used to color the fluid generated by Initial Fill Up, or by Initial Liquid Fill from the Phoenix FD Properties of a geometry - both of these options create liquid only at the start of the simulation. During simulation, more colors can be mixed into the sim by using a Phoenix FD Liquid Source with RGB enabled, or the color of existing fluid can be changed over time by using a Phoenix FD Mapper. If a Phoenix FD Liquid Source does not have RGB enabled, it also emits using the Default RGB value.
