My guess would be particles too. Real flow could do it but you better have a beast of a computer to run Real Flow especially if you want that quality of clarity.
-
ok, I get it. And what would be the best way to accomplish this effect with sketchup? Is there a way at all?
-
There isnt really a way of doing something to this level in SU. If you need something of a similar quality youd be better of doing the water in another app.
If it doesnt need to be quite that quality you might be able to get away with photoshopping it in, if you can find a suitable donor image.

Any water textures on a rustic form can make the trick
For the model on the left you have the new Follow me and Rotate who can help you to make the under form! -
I will try that Follow me and Rotate plugin. Tnx
-
and of course Subdivide&Smooth could help there as well, I guess...
-
Subdivde and smooth and FFD work great for splashes.
-
I had a feeling you would find this as a challenge solo. Awesome image.

You could also do a quick model in Blender [or similar] using the fluid simulator and import that into sketchup. Cheating, I suppose, but that's a specific thing that other programs are just much better at [and free, in the case of blender]. Use the right tool for the job.

There's no such thing as cheating, only using the right tool for the right task.
