your best bet is probably to contact the person who did the fluid
demos, there are tutorials on the wiki for its usage, some in the main
blender docs, one in the summer of documentation section as part of
the simulation.  You could also ask Nils himself.

The fluids are pretty straight forward to use although admittedly all
of my demos have been pretty simplistic. I would think the biggest
issue is having enough ram to handle it in a high enough resolution to
look good.
